CGiii Comment
An indigenous woman living outside Lima, Peru, pregnant Georgina sells potatoes in the market and performs in a traditional dance troupe with her partner. She's lured to the capital to give birth after hearing a radio announcement about a clinic there, a come-on which proves too good to be true when her newborn is stolen from her. Desperate to find her daughter and ignored by the police, a distraught Georgina joins forces with Pedro, a newspaper reporter hiding secrets of his own. In an effort to discover the truth, Georgina and Pedro collect testimonials from the mothers of other kidnapped children and uncover corruption at the highest levels of government. Based on actual events in 1980s Peru, director Melina Leon based her debut feature on a story first reported by her father, Ismael.
