Argentina, 1976. Remo and Irmina are a young couple trying to survive the military persecution by running away into the jungle. Irmina gives birth to Marita and as living conditions are so precarious for their newborn, they decide to leave her in the care of a peasant couple. Marita is discovered and taken away by the military, and now Remo and Irmina face a dilemma: they must decide whether to stay in the country and search for their daughter at risk of losing their own lives or go into exile and trying to recover from the outside.
