Thoughtfully, lovingly, Aurora tells the story of an unwanted pregnancy. Alongside her work as an architect, 40-year-old Luisa gives inspirational creative workshops to children. One day, she comes across 17-year-old Yuli by the school toilets; it turns out she has unintentionally become pregnant. Luisa decides to help her - in the process operating herself into a difficult position somewhere between friend, teacher and mother figure. Or does she secretly enjoy playing this role?

Variety

The film's quiet success instead comes from Fábrega's deep respect for her characters and the performers' own abilities to silently convey both inner warmth and, in a positive way, normality.

TAKE ONE Magazine

Villalobos shines in stillness and quietness, and Fábrega’s camera lingers on her face in moments of inactivity.
