Las huérfanas

Following the death of a cousin who shared her name, Melba is drawn into revisiting childhood scenes, everyday gestures, her travels between Colombia and Spain, and the bonds that both united and separated the women in her family. "The Orphans" is an attempt to narrate what is rarely spoken: the love and pain within a family; loyalty and distance in the face of an unforgettable mother; the silent transmission of fear, strength, and fragility.
