How far would a mother go to ensure the survival of her child?
At twenty-five years old, Emma hasn’t had an easy life. Abandoned by her mother as a child and raised by a sullen and unsociable grandmother, she decides, after coming of age, to start a new life in Madrid, and well away from sadness and uncertainty which until then had always accompanied her. However, both one and the other will be present years later when she gets pregnant as a result of a sporadic relationship and gives birth to Luca, a premature baby with a serious heart disease. Without work or a place to live due to another blow of fate, Emma accepts the proposition of Sabal, an immigrant of Indian origin who offers her a large sum of money in exchange for a marriage of convenience. To do so Emma will have to put aside her prejudices and fears, and plunge into an abyss of an unknown depth.
