Gaby and Silvia do not know each other. Fer is Gaby's son, Diego is Silvia's. Both families are living their own lives. Then Diego's kidneys fail and they are tested for a transplant. The results turn something up: the boys were switched at birth. Each woman has spent ten years raising the other's son. To save Diego they both have to do what is needed. Afterwards they go to court, and the question is which child stays with whom. Rafael Montero directs the Mexican film; ninety minutes, with Ludwika Paleta as Gaby and Iliana Fox as Silvia. It leaves the question open: is being a mother decided by blood or by ten years of raising a child. It gives each woman a place from which she is right.
