About the film
Is it possible to LOVE and KILL someone at the same time? Adela is released from prison and Fernando, her husband, drives her to a psychiatric institution where Dr. Comillas works with orphaned mothers (those who have lost a child). Naming things allows us to give pain a place, to recognize its existence, but people, deep down, are not what they seem. The night Lucía died something changed forever and the only answer is the silence of the cosmos.
