Francisco Márquez

In shades of gray, the calm, static shots show young female visitors to a public hospital in Argentina. This is the place where teenage girls have to make a decision about the new life growing inside them. A few of them have, at a very young age indeed, already had children. For others, the idea of a future as a mother is new and terrifying. In many cases, though, having an abortion isn’t a decision to be taken for granted. Some of the girls have learned from childhood that getting pregnant is your own fault, and you have to accept the consequences. What they know about abortion comes from horror stories of clandestine practices in backstreet clinics. The hospital gynecologists and other staff, who can be heard but not seen, ask the girls about their well-being, their relationship, their family ties, and how they see the future—with or without a child. In these intimate and non-judgmental conversations, the girls respond with powerful candor in their most vulnerable moments.

During the military dictatorship of Argentina in 1977, office clerk Francisco Sanctis, his wife and children lead a quiet life in Bueno Aires. But one day an old friend calls him after 20 years, asking him to sign something. When they meet, she explains that she actually wants him to warn two of her friends that are about to be kidnapped by the army, and Francisco must decide if he wants to risk everything for two strangers.

Cecilia is too afraid one night to let her housekeeper's son into the house. The next day his dead body is found.

Mara, a young speleologist, lives with her father Horacio, a rural veterinarian. Both emigrated to Italy from Argentina decades ago. Horacio makes one last trip, curing animals in the mountains, before dying. Mara, some time after her departure, meets Roy, a Dominican boy who arrives in town seeking asylum. They become friends. She helps him speak Italian and teaches him about the caves. Together, they take an excursion inside a cave. There Mara will meet her dead father and they will talk about what they never talked about before. Film about close ties, identity, uprooting and the force of nature.
