From internationally acclaimed director Pablo Trapero comes a powerful and unflinching emotional drama, charting one mother’s struggle to raise her child in extraordinary circumstances and her compelling fight for their survival and freedom.
Julia (Gusman), a young pregnant woman with no criminal record, awakens in her Buenos Aires apartment surrounded by the bodies of two men. She finds herself and her baby son behind the bars of a prison facility and faces a desperate fight for survival, with the knowledge that her son will be taken away at the age of four.
Thoroughly authentic and emotionally exacting, this remarkable film centres on a performance of searing intensity from Gusman.
