Janis and Ana, two disparate women, meet while in labor. Both are single and became pregnant by accident. Middle-aged Janis (Penélope Cruz) is exultant; adolescent Ana (Milena Smit) is scared, repentant and traumatized. Janis tries to encourage Ana while they move like sleepwalkers through the hospital corridors. Though few words are exchanged, the two are inextricably linked when a turn of fate changes their lives in a decisive way.
