    • Synopsis
    • Fausta suffers from "La teta asustada", an illness transmitted by the breast milk of women who were mistreated during the years of terrorism in Peru.
      Infected people are born without soul, which hides beneath the ground out of
      fear. These people live with an atavistic terror that isolates them
      completely.
      But Fausta hides something else, a secret that she doesn’t want to reveal.
      Until her mother’s sudden death unleashes unexpected events that will change her life and the life of other’s.
