Synopsis: Mariana is a woman overwhelmed by her surroundings, her family, her house, her city, and her country. Because of this, she decides to flee from her mother and a home that she feels is not her place. This is how she arrives on the island of Malta, a promised land that will free her as a person and allow her to be that other person she so longs to be, in a new life. Sex becomes her refuge, an escape and an evasion that allows her to be not only far from her home but also from herself. This story will take a dramatic turn when a relationship forces her to reconsider the reason for her life, who she is, and her relationship with her mother. A path toward self-recognition where she will find her true place in the world.
After the screening, a conversation will take place with Natalia Santa, director of the film, and Oswaldo Osorio, film critic.
