If you awoke, dazed and addled, covered in blood, with an unconscious lover near by and what appeared to be a corpse even closer--what would happen next?
It's the incarceration of the main character convincingly and powerfully plated by Martina Guzman that is the heart of the film, as she finds herself not only pregnant, but in a special ward for such victims of violence; it doesn't take long for a family of sorts of emerge among these women without hope, a strange compound of vibrant personalities tempered by the presence of children.
As her children grows up, Leonora is visited by her reptilitan ex-husband and by the mother with ulterior motives, but what I found most fascinating was the relationships that evolve in the prison with both guards and charges, and as the film develops, a strong suspenseful finish. It is an impressive and colorful story about the importance of love and places where it develops as truth.
