En Huachindango, capital de un pequeño país centroamericano, es obligatorio que las mujeres ingresen en distintos momentos de su vida a unas habitaciones administradas por “El Sistema”, donde sufren distintos tipos de agresión sexual. Ninguna mujer de Huachindango se salva de entrar, en uno o varios momentos de su vida, a estas habitaciones. Hay una habitación que es la más temida de todas: Polvo de Gallo.

This beautifully integrated, multi-threaded narrative seamlessly interweaves six stories set in radically different locations across Central America, ranging from the tropical forests of Guatemala to the skyscrapers of Panama City. When a solar storm leaves the region without power, myriad dramas unfold over the course of five days during which all conveniences of modernity are stripped away. In Costa Rica, a pastor and his daughter worry for the future of their church, while in El Salvador, a grandmother and grandson make an arduous journey into the city. A husband and wife reconnect in Honduras, as a young couple nurses a mysterious stranger back to health in Guatemala. Meanwhile, in Nicaragua, a young woman prepares for her quinceañera and in Panama, a housekeeper grows exasperated with her demanding employer.
