1971, Francoist Spain. In the Galician countryside, María helps women to give birth, and, more occasionally, those that do not want to have children. After trying to help a young woman, she is forced to flee the country, leaving everything behind her. During her dangerous journey to Portugal, María encounters feminine solidarity and realises she is not alone…
