Plot

edit

The film is set in the town of Ventanas in the Valparaíso Region of Chile. Sofia (Amparo Noguera) is a local teacher going through the process of adopting a child when she reads in the news about a dead baby found in the local dump. Sofia becomes obsessed with the fate of the dead girl who she called "Aurora". The baby has no legal right to have a name or be buried, so Sofia initiates a legal process that becomes an intimate journey of personal transformation, with devastating consequences on her life.[1]

The film is based on the life of Bernarda Gallardo.[2]
