Hélène (Carole Bouquet) is a modern working woman who has sacrificed everything for her career. Now middle-aged and lonely, she travels to the northeast region of Argentina to adopt a baby. Once there, she is struck by the abject poverty that devastates the area and soon meets, by chance, Juana (Aymará Rovera), a local mother, whose destitution makes providing for her son a nearly impossible task. To their surprise, these two very different women soon develop a powerful and crucial bond.

Audience Member The movie seems very realistic but is it? I liked this a lot, characters are quite cool, they do not show a lot of emotions and the feeling in the movie is very sad from the beginning. The movie gives a lot to think about especially to people who are thinking about adopting a child. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member muy buena pelicula, el final semi-inconcluso concentra la atención en la historia en sí, la actriz que interpreta a Joelle hace un papel fantastico, los paisajes y ciertos dialogos me recuerdan mucho a paraguay asi que me encanto esta pelicula. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Atypical movie but interesting.Beautiful photography.A bit slow sometimes.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member it's slow.. but somehow gripping.. one could be disappointed in the end, but for sure it's better than average hollywood production.
