Language: Spanish and English (with English open captions for the Spanish dialogues)
This is a true story of a mother willing to break the law to protect her daughter from sexual abuse since the justice system in her country does not apply to children.
A woman discovers that her 5-year-old is sexually abused by her father. The woman must start a journey through government services to protect her child. The play wants to outline the impact of the abuse on the mother and the difficulties of receiving help from the organizations that are meant to protect children. Finally, the mother must leave everything beyond and go to Australia to save her daughter.
