A human tragedy on the backdrop of a legal and medical scandal which in 2007 lead to legal action against the Argentinean state before the UN Human Rights Commission and a verdict of guilty in 2011. The mentally and physically handicapped 16-year-old girl Laura had been raped by her uncle in 2006. But a legal abortion which had already been officially granted at the request of her mother, Vicenta, was opposed by lawyers and doctors.
This film is a gut-wrenching look at systemic failure. It's a stark, infuriating, and deeply moving experience that highlights the devastating consequences of institutional indifference and legal obstruction.
