    Synopsis

    For years, Rosario has been suffering a chronic disease that causes unbearable physical pain and alters every aspect of her life and the relationship with those around her. In the Clinic for Pain and Palliative Care of the General Hospital of Mexico, surrounded by intimidating machines and understanding doctors (across halls and operating rooms but also at home), this patient becomes the center of an atypical documentary. Centered on a person's struggle to defeat the obstacles enforced by life, Santiago Esteinou's film, which could have become a cold clinical study on a medical case, turns into a story of survival by being narrated in the first person by its protagonist.
