Sofía, teacher, living in the polluted city of Ventana, on the coast of Chile, is in the process of adoption of a minor when she reads in the newspaper that a newborn girl was found dead in a landfill.

Sofia will engage in a legal fight which will have profound consequences on her life. Her crusade will become an intimate journey of personal transformation.
