- Synopsis
- In Chile, the forests are on fire, the glaciers are melting, and violence and inequality are on the increase... Camila is a dancer and chinchinera in Valparaiso and, at 35, she is questioning the reason for giving birth to a child in today's world.
  
  For if in her womb a desire for a child has awakened, as it does for many young people today, the state of the world operates like an insidious contraceptive.
  Camila shares her discouragement in the face of social and environmental inequalities and women's rights in her country, which still criminalises abortion.
  
  Camila goes in search of answers from her friends, her family and her flatmate, and even goes on a trip to Patagonia to meet up with an ecologist friend who studies glaciers there, and Veronica, a Mapuche woman who offers her a different perspective on life.
