What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Martha's daughters institutionalize her carefree lifestyle, while Leandro must determine whether she is mentally ill or simply choosing pleasure and independence.
Olga and Myriam admit their mother to a psychiatric clinic and place her freedom under professional scrutiny.
The psychiatric clinic becomes the central arena in which Martha, her daughters, and the evaluating expert dispute the meaning of her behavior.
The premise turns a clinical assessment into an absurd conflict over whether a woman's carefree way of living deserves diagnosis.
