A harrowing, intimate portrait of a woman trapped between medical reality and legal prohibition, forced to carry a doomed pregnancy to term.

Adriana finds out the son she's expecting suffers a brain malformation that won't allow him to live outside her womb. As therapeutic abortion is illegal in Chile, she must wait until her baby is naturally born.
