Maladjusted daughter escapes from cult in tense family drama, skillfully inspired by and critically analyzing the sensationalism of the true crime wave.

Life is turned upside down for the controlled child psychologist Ximena when her eldest daughter, Tamara, abruptly returns home from a cult. When the police knock on the door with questions about a missing newborn, Ximena is forced to examine not only her relationship with her daughters but also confront a terrible truth, a stressful trial, and a world hungry for lurid details. Directors Gómez and Becerra expose multiple layers of trauma in their restrained, suspenseful thriller, where the confrontation between a mother who must uncover the truth and a daughter who wants to bury it becomes a necessary, piercing sliver of light in the darkness.
