Synopsis:
Lucia, a 22 year old student reveals the abuse she suffered when she was a teenager, so that it will not happen again. A trip to the village where she spent her childhood will be the beginning of a process of resilience, but the silence and hypocrisy of her family will be her greatest obstacle. Writing will be her way of expelling it all and starting a new path through life.
