    • Synopsis
    • Malena, a survivor of domestic violence, fled to Mexico City to rebuild her life after losing custody of her children despite her fierce fight. Now with a new partner, she aspires to create the family she always dreamt of, despite challenges such as IVF treatment, societal judgment, and the resentment from her teenage children who feel abandoned. While patriarchal norms may seem daunting, her determination for a brighter future is stronger than ever.
