The film explores the effects in the society that the last military dictatorship inherited. In Uruguay there are still a lot of desaparecidos - people who vanished during the dictatorship between 1973 and 1985 - and were never found again. María Emilia is one of them and still missing. She disappeared when she was 22-years-old, with her husband and her child of 18 months. María Esther - her mother - spent 16 years searching only to finally find her granddaughter living with a family of an Argentinean military officer in Buenos Aires. After learning the truth about her origin, the granddaughter chose to continue living with the parents who adopted her by force when she was a baby.
