- Synopsis
- Eliana (37) and Carolina (37), two friends since adolescence, decide to make a film when they discover that Eliana has cancer with no cure. The camera goes from hand to hand as an instrument that unites adults and children, a companion and confidant that records the beauty of the world that unites them and that cracks in the face of the inescapable rules of nature. Eliana's body weakens but her spirit remains strong, as Carolina faces the conflict of her own place in the film and in her friend's story. What begins as a way to save Eliana becomes an emotional journey through pain, love, laughter and the worries of motherhood. After 27 years of friendship, it is the certainty of death that makes them inseparable.
