The magazine cover showed Paloma Noyola, a student of Juarez Correa’s who lived next to the dump where her father worked, but who demonstrated a special gift for mathematics.Also depicted are Lupe , who is interested in philosophy but is under pressure from her mother to drop out of school and help raise her younger siblings, and Nico , who is slowly being co-opted by a local gang.

Trejo told AFP that many of her friends have endured similar struggles to those of her character, Mia.
