A huge box office success in South America, La Chiperita is a heartwarming film about daily life in small-town Paraguay.

Her friend Juanita encourages her to confess her love but Virgilia is afraid of rejection. When letters and financial support from her brother Anselmo stop arriving from Spain, Virgilia must leave aside the illusion of love, to support her family.
