Film Synopsis
At 43, Hélène realises that she has devoted too much of
her life to her career and that it is time she started living for
herself. Desperate to become a mother, she travels to Argentina,
looking for a child she can adopt. This is how she comes to
discover the Argentine Northwest, a region endowed with an astonishing
raw beauty but where social injustice is endemic. As she explores
the area and makes unlikely friendships, Hélène begins to
find the answers to some of the questions that have been troubling her
for so long...
