Following her parents’ death, the six years old Frida is adopted by her uncle and aunt-in-law. Now, a brand new life and a new home await her. However, Frida is overcome by a longing for her mother, and finds it hard to cope with such a tremendous trauma and to adapt to her new life. Her new family on the other hand will do everything in their power to make Frida happy despite the hardships. Carla Simón’s first feature film eloquently depicts the story of an orphaned child without playing on the audience’s heartstrings.
