A story about feminine solidarity at México City. Doña Meche an old lonely lady and Tamara a mentally challenged woman in her forties, meet in their solitude in an endeavor to return a baby that Tamara took from a newspaper stand.
"Without falling into sensationalism, the third feature film by Mexican filmmaker Lucía Carreras (director of 'Nos vemos, papá' and co-writer of 'La jaula de oro') is a modest but sensitive portrait of the loneliness and neglect suffered by many women in Mexico, and in general those belonging to vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities and the elderly. The performances of Ángeles Cruz ('Rito terminal') and Angelina Peláez ('La vida precoz y breve de Sabina Rivas'), both nominated for the Ariel Award in 2018, will move you and convey the desolation of abandonment, but also the hope that comes with the need to give love and care to others."
