synopsis

In 1971, in the Galician countryside, María assists women in childbirth. After an attempt to help a young woman in trouble, she has to hide from the authorities, and then flee the country, leaving everything behind. On her perilous journey to Portugal, via an old smugglers’ route, María experiences the solidarity of other women. She realises that she is not alone and, thanks to the help of others, she might finally find her freedom.
María woont op het Galicische eiland Illa de Arousa, nabij de Portugese grens. Wanneer een jong meisje haar vraagt om te helpen een abortus uit te voeren van een ongewenste zwangerschap, loopt de procedure fout af en moet María het land ontvluchten. Tijdens haar tocht over de Portugese grens wordt ze geholpen door verschillende vrouwen van uiteenlopende achtergronden. De ontmoetingen zorgen ervoor dat ze haar ideeën over moederschap en vrouwelijkheid in vraag begint te stellen.
