Expecting

La espera

A teen girl with a bright future buys some pills from a woman on a park bench. She has fun with her boyfriend while her parents are out of town. Now she’s pregnant and since abortion is illegal in Chile she takes the black-market pills meant to induce an abortion safely at home. The history of her relationship with her boyfriend slowly unfolds until it becomes an intense life-or-death moment that will forever change everyone involved.
