About the film:
Maria, a Spanish physician, works in a maternity hospital in the Ecuadorian rainforest. She is shocked by the many premature pregnancies and the violence women in Ecuador must face. She meets Mishell, an adolescent abused by his father, and Yanina, a woman who decides to perform a clandestine abortion. María discovers that behind unintended pregnancies again and again hides sexual violence.
