"Jeanette vive en Miami y lucha contra la adicciâon. Hija de una inmigrante cubana, estâa decidida a aprender mâas sobre su historia familiar; una historia que su madre, Carmen, no le quiere contar. Por eso toma la decisiâon repentina de acoger a la hija de su vecino detenido por el Servicio de Control de Inmigraciâon y Aduanas. Carmen, por su parte, todavâia lucha con el trauma de haber dejado Cuba atrâas, a la vez que procesa la complicada relaciâon con su propia madre y trata de criar a una Jeanette descarriada. Jeanette, desesperada por hallar respuestas, viaja a Cuba para encontrar a su abuela y descubrir los secretos del pasado. Desde las fâabricas de cigarros del siglo XIX hasta los centros de detenciâon actuales, Mujeres de sal es un retrato caleidoscâopico de las traiciones personales y polâiticas, autoinfligidas y cometidas por otros que han dado forma a las vidas de estas mujeres. Una extraordinaria reflexiâon sobre las elecciones de las madres, el legado de los recuerdos y la valentâia por contar esas historias a pesar de que hay quienes quieren silenciarlas." --
