From case cover:
NADIE TE OYE: PERFUME DE VIOLETAS cuenta la historia veridica de Yessica y Miriam, dos adolescentes de México D.F., que empiezan una amistad profunda en la secundaria.
Las amigas comparten cuadernos, juegos, gustos, maquillajes y perfumes, hasta que Jorge y El Topi, violentos cómplices, secuestran a Yessica y abusan sexualmente de ella.
La indiferencia y el egoísmo de los adultos rompen la amistad de las jovencitas y las conducen a la tragedia.

From IMDb:
A poignant and moving urban drama, focusing on the growing problem of sexual assault in Mexico City. Director Sistach fictionalizes the true story of a friendship between two adolescent girls which is torn apart when one of them is brutally raped. Rebellious tomboy Yessica is frequently in trouble at school and at home, with its lower middle-class limitations. She is always at odds with her mother, bullying stepfather, and despicable stepbrother, Jorge. Then Jorge strikes a deal with a friend, helping the man trap Yessica and rape her, in exchange for money. Terrified and ashamed of the attack, Yessica remains silent, seeking comfort in her friendship with innocent and childlike Miriam, from a more stable home, though reared by a poor single mother. Tragedy unfolds as Yessica increasingly relies on Miriam and begins to get the naive girl into trouble, until Miriam finds she is no longer in control of her fate.
