Synopsis

While her parents are out of town, a teenage girl buys some pills from a woman on a park bench and then meets up with her boyfriend at her family home. It looks like they are preparing for a night of fun, but that has already happened. She is pregnant, and since abortion is illegal in Chile, the black-market pills are supposed to induce a "safe" abortion. While the couple waits for the pills to take effect, they recount the history of their relationship until it culminates in a life-or-death moment that will change their lives forever.
