Motherly love and the unbreakable bond of family fuse the lives of director Laura Ángel Córdoba, her mother Liliana and autistic brother Ernesto as they struggle to overcome their economic and medical challenges in Costa Rican society. In this intimate and deeply poetic family portrait, Córdoba's sensitive lens unmasks the stereotypes and misconceptions that have surrounded her family as they fight to create a safe and joyful space for Ernesto in an unforgiving atmosphere.
