After a long-awaited trip to Chiapas, 36-year-old Ana returns to her home in Ecuador to receive a disquieting breast cancer diagnosis. As she endures medical treatment with the support of her family and her boyfriend, Mateo, she dives with deep honesty into a raw and unfiltered healing journey that goes beyond the repair of her broken body to reveal a soul that is also wounded. When her father emigrated to the United States, he sent her a camera to record video of the family so he could see them.

Navigating through childhood memories triggered by images from the family archive, marked by the absence of her father, Ana confronts herself through her personal history, her relationship with her family and Mateo, and her relationship with her own body in this beautiful celebration of vulnerability and the connection to the self in the face of life-changing challenges. Lucila Moctezuma.
