Luisa era una niña valiente que, desde bien pequeña, luchó por lo que creía justo defendiendo la igualdad. Vivió en Puerto Rico en una época en la que las mujeres debían llevar falda, a pesar de que en muchas ocasiones fuera incómoda y no les permitiera moverse con libertad. Luisa decidió cambiarlo, la solución era tan sencilla como ponerse unos pantalones, pero ¿estuvieron todos de acuerdo con su decisión?

Basado en hechos reales, un pequeño homenaje a la figura de la activista Luisa Capetillo.
