Synopsis:

In the mid-to-late 1970s, two young women from different social backgrounds meet inside the Patronato de Protección a la Mujer (Womens Protection Board), a state-backed institution that confined thousands of women, many single mothers, in convents and boarding schools under the guise of moral ‘reform’. Ana, a rebellious 19-year-old from Barcelona, is sent by her wealthy father to a Patronato facility overseen by the merciless Sister Socorro. Amid the harsh conditions, Ana forms a deep bond with Sole, a friendship tested by escape attempts, reprisals, and an ultimate sacrifice.
