Forging ahead against all odds, Chile’s beautiful landscape and the encounters with other people make Maud slowly realise that there is more to life. Like 8-year old Messi, a streetwise Chilean boy, who forces Maud to reconsider her idealistic ideas about motherhood. After the long journey from the rough and cold South of Patagonia to the sweltering heat of the Northern dessert, Maud finally made peace with herself.
