Plot

The young Liliana Pereira (Justina Bustos), in Montevideo, a university student and mother of a baby, participates in student struggles against the Civic-Military Dictatorship in Uruguay. Together with other women, she is kidnapped, locked up and tortured, and dispossessed of her son's parental rights. Mutual support with her confinement partners strengthens and accompanies her. After years of exile in Spain, and upon learning that she will be a grandmother, Liliana Pereira (Cecilia Roth) decides to return to Uruguay to participate with her ex-companions in denouncing the hell suffered in her youth and to recover the sentimental ties with her son.
