Part 1 (of 2)

British backpackers, Rachel (Olivia Darnley) and Sally (Lucy May Barker) falsely claim they have been robbed in order to get a pay-out from their travel insurance when they get home.

Unfortunately, they get caught out when the Mexican police decide to go back to their hotel and search their room. Charged and arrested for insurance fraud, unable to speak Spanish, the girls are sucked into the vortex of the Mexican penal system.

It's a life-changing experience that tests their friendship to the limit, in this two-part coming-of-age drama by Ingeborg Topsøe, recorded in Mexico.
