BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
Calm down.
We're almost there.
Let's go.
Step out.
Nurse!
Ma'am.
Doctor, please.
- Yes, what's wrong?
- Can you check on my daughter?
- Yes, sure, just...
- She has lots of pain in her groin.
How long has she been with this pain?
I don't know exactly.
- Minutes? Hours? Days?
- Hours!
- I came from work and...
- Calm down.
Ma'am, you stay here, fill out her form,
her medical records,
and I'll take her to see a doctor.
Come on. Breathe.
It's not that bad. Come on.
Sit and stay still.
Doctor.
I have a female with strong pain
in her lower abdomen.
- Injured?
- No.
- Have you examined her?
- No.
All right. Lie down. Face up.
- Help her. Has she come on her own?
- With her mother.
Lift your shirt up. Zip down your pants.
How long have you been like this?
Since this afternoon.
Are you pregnant?
No.
Have you eaten anything, had dinner?
I ate a fruit salad.
And before that?
Breaded beef with mashed potatoes.
Nothing else.
Have you had appendicitis?
Get her an IV
with an antiemetic and an analgesic.
Give her lots of water.
As soon as she feels better,
take her back to her mom.
All right. Please, pass me
a three-way stopcock.
Here.
Where are you going?
I need to go to the toilet.
Wait, I'll help you.
- No, I can go by myself.
- Are you sure?
Yes, I can do it.
The restroom is through that door
over there, on the left.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing?
Come here.
Doctor, this is something else.
She's losing a lot of blood.
What? Is she pregnant?
She didn't tell us. What should we do?
Get her to Gynecology, they'll surely
give her an emergency curettage.
A what?
Doctor!
What? We're in the middle of a procedure.
A procedure for an ill*gal ab*rtion.
- Looks like she tried to have an ab*rtion.
- Says who?
- They said they found a fetus.
- Who is they?
- I don't know.
- No.
Excuse me, Officer, what's going on?
She needs to stay under custody
until relocated.
- No way, she's weak...
- Doctor, please.
- There's no way.
- Doctor, please.
What are you doing? This is outrageous.
- Julieta Gmez.
- What are you doing?
You're detained, and we will
transfer you to a penitentiary.
I haven't done anything. Call my mom.
You've done a very serious thing.
I didn't do anything. Doctor, call my mom.
- Bring it to me.
- She will explain what happened.
See this?
- What's that?
- That was your baby.
What baby? I don't have kids.
I don't have kids.
What's going on?
Go away. Go away!
Call my mom.
Call her!
Call my mom!
Call my mom!
Call my mom!
TWO YEARS LATER.
Going down the mountain, for example,
is not for all kids.
No, Martn is not very skilled
with the bicycle.
He can ride,
but he can't go down the hill like that,
- on an excursion.
- Sure.
They haven't gone
down the hill in two years.
- They took that excursion out.
- Why didn't you say so,
- if you knew?
- Sorry for the delay.
We just paid for it.
Well, the last trimester
of the year is coming,
and as the graduates' parents,
you need to push them, make them focus.
It's not an easy task.
Do you know who will make the video?
We can organize a video committee.
- Of course.
- I need to leave, I'm late.
We all have stuff to do.
- My husband will make the video.
- Perfect.
- The lady's husband will make the video.
- Perfect. Video solved.
Come on, man, come on!
You're authorized.
Go in, I'm running late.
Do you seriously think that if my daughter
had been eight months pregnant,
she would've fit into those little pants?
Will you look at her?
She's showing you something.
I told you a thousand times,
ma'am, you have to go to Sarmiento Street.
This is the civil forum.
Hello. I'm late for the hearing.
My partner is inside.
- Wisner-Marot, child support. Thanks.
- Let me check.
we talked to the lawyer.
She won't do anything,
and the trial is in three days.
- You can come in, they've been waiting.
- Thanks.
An answer, a phone number,
something, so she can communicate.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Hi.
- Good morning.
- Is that ready?
- Sorry for the delay.
It was five minutes. Tell the judge, okay?
- I'll get him.
- Did you see the ladies?
- Judge.
- What ladies?
- You didn't see them?
- No.
Sorry for the delay.
Sir, we're ready to start.
I only have some doubts
on the third resolution. Want to read it?
Just a moment, please.
I have a urinary tract infection.
- It's a second.
- Where are you going?
- Just a minute.
- She has an infection.
Deza!
Ma'am? Excuse me.
When I got here, I overheard you.
What happened to your daughter?
My sister.
She's been in prison for two years.
She didn't do anything.
They want life sentence.
- What is she being accused of?
- k*lling a child.
She had a miscarriage.
I was there,
and they never took me to testify.
We don't know who to talk to,
the lawyer doesn't like us.
- Who's your lawyer?
- Beatriz.
- Her name is Beatriz Camao.
- Deza Excuse me.
- They're waiting.
- Sorry. You're right.
I'm with my partner.
Will you wait for me so we can talk?
- Yes.
- I'll be back.
- Sorry, my bad. You're right.
- Who is she?
- I don't know, Mom.
- What should we do?
Let's wait. Sit there, Mom.
I don't understand
how we didn't know about this.
Yes, it's so strange.
She's not coming. Mark my words.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Hello. What would you like to have?
Juan Carlos, I'll have an apple Mirinda
and three thin tortillas.
- Perfect.
- And a grilled beef and cheese sandwich.
- Noted.
- I'll just do breakfast and lunch at once.
Good.
Her taking this case smells funny to me.
Beatriz Camao always smells great.
Don't make me start.
We were so young. It doesn't count.
I was just an experiment to her.
Then she got scared and grabbed a p*nis.
There she is. Look.
- Beatriz.
- How are you?
How are you guys?
- It's been so long.
- Yes, it has.
Unbelievable.
You look the same.
Always together,
one glued to the other, like in college.
- Yes.
- Yeah, right?
We had a good time back then.
We sure did.
You know? Sometimes
I've thought about you a lot.
The case with that girl
It's left you estranged from me.
Am I right?
- Me? No, not at all. No.
- No.
Are you sure?
- Absolutely.
- Sometimes,
as a public defender,
I can only do so much.
- Of course.
- I can imagine.
I was relieved to hear
you were taking the case.
Well, let's not get stuck on the past.
Thank you for coming all the way here.
We know you're busy,
so we'll get to the point.
Yes, let me tell you our thoughts,
what we worked on at the law firm,
maybe we can help.
You know perfectly well
I can't discuss the case here.
- We don't want to inconvenience you.
- Yes.
Be quick, then.
- Yes.
- We talked to the mother,
and she gave us details of how
her daughter arrived at the hospital
the night she was hospitalized.
I had a hard time talking to the mother.
She's aggressive.
She's really worried.
She thinks she can get a life sentence.
- Let's hope not.
- Excuse me.
Here you go.
- Can I have a grilled sandwich too?
- Yes.
Just like that one. Thanks.
So?
I think you could at least consider
suggesting the violation
of professional secrecy.
The police burst into the room,
and the doctor decides to give them
the patient's medical records?
Well, yes, a serious thing had happened.
It deserved to have a case opened.
That case exists.
It's called homicide, and here we are.
I think they were looking for a culprit
in the hospital before the case existed.
- That's why...
- I'm sorry.
Did you meet me to explain to me
how the case goes?
- No...
- Stop.
A young woman with a far-along pregnancy
goes to the hospital,
and a dead fetus appears in the bathroom.
The mom said she didn't show a belly.
The hospital didn't suspect a pregnancy.
- They thought it was peritonitis.
- Thousands of contradictions.
I promise you I'm doing
my best to help her,
but her case is hard,
and I don't work miracles.
I'm off to work.
Could you send the sandwich
to my office, please?
Yes, of course.
"Question the beauty on Earth."
"Question the beauty of the sea."
"Question the beauty of the sky."
"Question all these realities."
"They all answer,
'Look, we're beautiful.'
"Their beauty is their proclamation."
What is a "proclamation"?
Something you want to communicate.
It's like God is
communicating with us in that way?
Something like that.
And what does he mean?
- "Help your brother with homework."
- I want some yogurt.
No, we're having dinner. Didn't you hear?
Sit down and finish homework.
- Yes, let's eat.
- How do I help?
Take this.
I swear I don't understand
how you can believe in God.
Do you really think
he's on a cloud right now?
No, I don't think God's on a cloud, Flora.
Then where is he?
Stop it, Sara!
In this conversation, for example.
Does God speak through me?
Through Sara when she barks, for example?
Since when are you so literal?
- Give me an example.
- An example?
In kindness, in compassion for people.
That's God manifesting himself.
And he doesn't manifest in evil?
You guys put God
wherever you find convenient.
You might be right.
To me, God manifests in giving
your life a purpose, for example.
Or a vocation
or a calling to do something.
- God's there.
- I'm not convinced.
- We don't want to convince you.
- Not at all.
If God existed,
you wouldn't have anyone to defend.
You're a lawyer because he doesn't exist.
Right, Dad?
- Say something.
- Stop, let's eat.
Where's God when a child dies?
What's going on, Flora?
Why are you being morbid?
- You're so morbid.
- Shut up.
Well.
- Where's Camao?
- No clue.
I can't believe it.
I'm sorry. You may begin.
Let's proceed
with the oral hearing for the cause
against Julieta Estefana Gmez,
ID number 34211318,
for the crime of homicide
aggravated by the relationship,
file number 12941-2014.
It's not the first or the last time
something like this happens.
Answer the question, please.
Yes, the girl went to the bathroom.
I asked her if she needed help
and she said no.
But she was in so much pain,
I found it strange.
How long was the defendant
in the bathroom?
She must have been there 15 minutes,
with time to spare.
Can you state the case of the patient
when she was admitted?
The patient manifested having
strong lower abdomen pain.
Minutes after being checked,
she presented with a vaginal hemorrhage
and was immediately referred
to Gynecology.
Can you tell us your medical specialty?
I'm a clinician.
When the police burst into your operating
room, you'd concluded the procedure?
I was finishing, yes.
You knew what was going on.
No, the police informed me
that the patient had performed
an ill*gal procedure.
She had all the signs
of giving herself an ab*rtion.
- Did you see the body?
- Affirmative.
Was it a male? Did you see it?
Affirmative. I held him in my hands.
- Did you find it?
- No.
Take your time.
It was
like this. No, it was smaller. Like this.
This mother committed several crimes.
First, she hid her pregnancy.
She went to the hospital
and lied to the medical staff.
Not letting anyone help her,
she locked herself in the bathroom
intending to get rid of the baby,
to then go back to the stretcher
like nothing had happened.
Since that dramatic episode,
she did nothing
but deny her involvement in this act.
As confirmed by psychiatric experts,
we know Julieta Gmez
was in a state of shock
and, as a public defender,
I wasn't allowed to have a medical panel.
A sentence like the one requested
by the district attorney
fails to take into consideration
the puerperal state of my client
and the natural emotions
that come with childbirth.
The court will take a recess
until Tuesday at 10:00 a.m.
After the testimony of the defendant,
who will make use of her right, as stated
in the Code of Criminal Procedure,
we'll give a verdict.
Okay, let's go.
Hi, Julieta.
- Soledad Deza.
- Yes, my mom told me.
I had to say I was your lawyer
so they'd let me in.
- Want one?
- No.
Fine, yes, give me a cigarette.
I brought you this book I wrote.
A book?
Yes, it's about a case we worked on
of a girl that went through
the same thing you did.
They opened a case because she had
a miscarriage, but she didn't go to jail.
I can get a life sentence, did you know?
That can never happen.
Don't think about that now.
They'll have a verdict on Tuesday.
You need to prepare
what you're going to say.
Yes.
I can come back on Monday and help you.
What's this?
It's a bracelet. I wear it for protection,
luck, you know. You can toss it.
You know what you have to do.
- Exactly.
- Exactly what?
Exactly, she knows what to do.
I worked in that hospital.
Some doctors believe they're gods,
and the police have even more power.
Any other suggestions?
Something else to say?
f*ck them, honey. Light them on fire.
Listen, half the people'd rather not know,
and the other half thinks
that girl's a k*ller.
So, we should join
the line of executioners, right?
We have to think of that girl,
and all the people
who have no choice
but to be hospitalized in that dump.
Do not be sad because the joy
of the Lord is our fortress
I come to see Julieta Gmez.
No, you're not her lawyer,
you're not authorized.
Tomorrow's the verdict.
I arranged a meeting, she's expecting me.
That's impossible, Counselor.
You know only her lawyer is authorized.
- Can you call your supervisor?
- No.
- Why?
- It's not possible.
- I'm asking you, please.
- It's not possible, I told you.
Okay.
Hi, Barba, can you call
the secretary right now?
Do you think they told her I went?
I didn't give birth to any baby.
I came to the hospital with this jacket.
How could a woman that's
eight months pregnant wear this jacket?
I didn't k*ll anyone in any bathroom.
I came to the hospital to get help,
and ended up in jail
just as I was learning I had miscarried.
I wasn't even allowed to grieve.
I don't know why this happened to me.
I don't
You look very committed, Deza.
I can't say the same about you.
You're obsessed with taking my cases.
Maybe you have something against me?
On the contrary, Beatriz,
I would love not to have to take care of
the women you abandon.
Sure.
It's impossible to compare to you
and your principles.
Tell me, Deza.
Do you already have a title
for your next book?
I would go in if I were you.
Being late for the verdict
would be the last straw.
We've had to consider
the worth of the life of John Doe,
who, from his brief existence,
claims for justice.
This court, unanimously,
finds Julieta Estefana Gmez,
whose personal data is on file,
guilty of being the author of the homicide
aggravated by the relationship,
with eight years in prison.
- No
- Add it to the record.
No!
- No
- Why? She's innocent.
Don't worry, we will appeal.
But she didn't do anything.
She's innocent!
Calm down.
Quit, Camao!
She's innocent, she didn't do anything!
Don't yell.
She didn't do anything.
Don't yell, it'll be worse.
Please, don't do it. Not in here.
She didn't do anything.
Give me everything, Camao.
You're free again.
- She should be happy.
- Give me the file. Shut up.
- Give it to me.
- Want it? Here.
You defended her with this?
- No one buys your savior act.
- Get out.
Don't listen to her.
Julieta You're pure sh*t.
Mabel.
Don't worry, we'll appeal.
Come, over there.
There's tomato.
- Nice, huh?
- Yummy!
Are you sure you put the red one?
Well, I put some from another tube.
Then it'll look like sh*t.
What's wrong, queen?
What a stupid question.
I want to know if it's something else.
What's wrong?
She has to see your face every day.
How are you?
We'll file to annul the trial.
You could be released pending a new one.
What's wrong?
I don't know if I can.
What?
Go through the same questions again,
telling things I don't remember.
I'm exhausted.
You don't have to say anything.
They did everything wrong.
They violated professional secrecy,
charged you without evidence,
changed the charges on the spot,
without an investigation.
You're just a victim. Maybe this is
the first time you've heard that.
- Yes.
- Well, start to believe it.
The problem with these places
is that they quickly make you believe
that you're guilty.
If you start coming here,
it's important that no one knows
about this outside.
My mom may lose her job. And my dad too.
No one here even knows
what I'm being accused of.
I need this to stay between us.
It stays between us, yes.
Promise me.
I promise.
Hi.
I come to take a file.
Julieta Gmez, file number 12941-2014.
- From the district attorney's office?
- No, I'm her lawyer. Soledad Deza.
Let me see.
- Gmez, right?
- Yes. Julieta.
Let me see
- Julieta Estefana.
- Yes, that one.
But the file isn't ready yet.
What's missing?
I couldn't really tell you, Counselor.
When can I come get it?
Try next week.
Well
Here, want to eat something?
- Come, it's back here.
- Come on.
Hello. Come in. Welcome.
- Hi.
- How are you?
We'll wait for your mom and we can start.
She's not coming.
She's having trouble at work.
Hi, baby.
Look, the blue-haired lady is a hippie,
don't get scared.
In Argentina, the law allows
a pretrial detention for up to two years.
Once that time passes,
they must dictate a ruling,
in a trial,
which is what happened to your sister.
Pretrial detention is given
when there's a flight risk
- or obstruction of the investigation.
- Your sister doesn't fit any of those.
That's why we believe they hurried
to sentence her, to cover up the mess.
This is Brbara Guindal,
journalist, lawyer,
- in charge of spreading the case.
- We must go to local media outlets.
The case has two sensitive topics
for the people in Tucumn.
From the presumption
of an ab*rtion to an alleged filicide.
"Filicide" is when someone
kills their children.
Paulina is a lawyer.
She worked with me
on Mara Magdalena's case,
a case in which she was sued
for allegedly performing an ab*rtion.
We see a connection between both cases,
because Mara Magdalena and Julieta
were both referred to the same attorney.
- Beatriz Camao.
- Exactly.
Don't even mention her.
We're also investigating if there's a link
between the doctors who treated them,
but I still can't find anything.
This is Perla,
activist against obstetric violence.
I witnessed many cases at Alberdi
of sexually abused girls,
where they made them listen
to the heartbeat during the ultrasound.
- I don't get it. Why?
- So they'd reconsider having an ab*rtion.
This is Coca. She's about to graduate
and get her third degree.
She knows the courthouse by heart.
We pushed everywhere to get the file.
Camao gave us a pretty poor file
on the case.
The folder that the defense lawyer has
with the evidence she chose
to defend the accused.
In this case, what she chose
is like having nothing.
No medical records, no information of her
entering or leaving the hospital, a mess.
What does that mean?
That we can't defend her
with what Camao submitted.
We really need the file.
EMERGENCY ROOM
Lots of girls come in here.
- Do you remember now?
- Oh, yes.
The girl who threw the baby in the toilet.
So you remember the case.
Yes, but Alejandra remembers it best.
Can you wait a minute?
Yes.
They already called me to testify,
I said all I had to say.
One thing. Do you remember
if the patient was showing a baby bump?
I only saw her go to the bathroom
and come back with bloody legs.
You don't remember anything else?
She came back as if nothing had happened.
What do you mean by that?
As if she hadn't done
the horrible thing she did. Anything else?
We can't keep interrogating people
without permission.
Excuse me.
What time does the shift change?
At 8:00 p.m.
Why come back?
To follow the path Julieta took.
- What?
- Let me think.
Sorry, Sherlock.
- Why are you still dressed like that?
- I'm ready.
- No, go and get changed.
- Manuel, you don't live alone.
Can you stop yelling for a moment?
Can you wear something else,
be more fancy?
- But this is my favorite.
- Come on.
I need to ask a favor.
- Ma'am?
- My dad's been hospitalized.
Hello. Excuse me, where is the toilet?
Look, you have to go all the way down,
the green sign
Excuse me. May I come in?
Sorry, the toilet is flooded.
You can't come in.
- Do you know where the other one is?
- No.
- Have you come this way?
- Yes.
You have to go back,
turn to the right until the entrance,
then take the hallway to the other wing,
pass Pediatrics, and go straight ahead.
- The other wing?
- Yes.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
"March 12th, 2014.
May God keep you in his glory," Barba.
Get it? There are two different toilets.
One is where the body was found,
and the other one is where Julieta went.
So, the testimonies say
she left for 15 minutes.
You don't know how long it took me to get
to the other one. She couldn't go there,
give birth to the baby, k*ll the baby,
all in that time.
What I mean is,
they found a fetus
at the other wing of the hospital
and they said it was Julieta's.
It's like that.
Call you later, Barba.
I'm sorry. I'm running late.
CONCERT OF FORMER STUDENTS
WELCOME ASSEMBLY EXHIBITION
Hey.
Your mom.
Come on, I already explained, Flora.
I said I was sorry.
It's important for the case.
- Someday, I wish I were a case.
- What are you saying?
Flora, don't even joke about that! Hey!
You won't even give me a kiss?
- Bye.
- Bye, baby.
- Have a nice day. Got everything?
- Yes.
- Can you give me the raffles?
- Yes, sorry.
Bye. Have a nice day. See you later!
Wait for your brother!
Early bird.
Have you read it?
What?
El tiempo. I just bought it.
Well, I guess you haven't read it.
No, what happened?
May I read it to you?
Yes, sure.
"The m*rder*r from Alberdi"
That's how it starts. Imagine. Listen.
- No...
- Listen Wait, listen. Are you there?
"According to Judge Faria,
cases like Julieta Gmez's,"
the woman recently convicted
for drowning her newborn in the toilet,
and defended by Soledad Deza
in the present,
"are preventable tragedies."
"They are preventable tragedies."
Where are you? Are you listening?
Hey!
They f*cked us over.
Yes, Faria f*cked us over.
They published her name.
What else?
m*rder*r FROM ALBERDI
So you're famous, Gmez?
And now I find out.
You were so quiet these past two years.
You're a bad mom. You're one of those.
I love that they love you in here.
So we'll continue this way, okay?
Look at me!
Let's pretend nothing happened.
Let's pretend nothing happened.
I love keeping secrets.
This is a secret between the two of us.
You know what else I love?
I love your sauces.
One of these days,
I'll ask you for one and take it home.
Are we clear?
We presented a request
to have them remove the online post
and not to use your name again.
- What they did is ill*gal.
- Oh, is it?
They want to buy time by getting
the public's opinion on their side.
I told you that if they knew
who I was outside,
my mom and my dad would lose their jobs.
And they're making me pay for this.
We have to pay for this monthly,
or they'll tell the rest about my case.
Who did that?
I'll take care of it,
but they can't do that.
Stop. They've been doing
whatever they want with me for two years.
- What's wrong?
- You made two promises.
That I would wait for trial outside,
and no one would know my name.
You didn't keep either of them.
Don't tell me what can and can't be done.
You're right, but to take you out,
we need everything to be known.
- We need to speak out.
- So they hang me in the town square?
So many of us come out to defend you.
I don't want my name to be known.
That's how you've lived so far,
and no one knows you're here.
If no one knows you're here,
you don't exist.
- Stop.
- I'm right.
It's not just my name.
- It's my mom's, my dad's
- I don't care anymore.
- You'll get fired.
- Let them fire me!
Let's make up another name.
Another identity,
so your case can be known.
- Listen.
- But we need your authorization.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Hello.
- Congratulations.
- Is it your birthday?
Hi, honey.
- Hi, honey.
- Hi, Mom.
Hi, honey.
Counselor, this is more people
than what's allowed.
- It's her birthday.
- I don't make the rules.
- Mabel, I'm handling everything.
- Not today, Counselor.
Daddy sends you kisses.
- He's not coming?
- Forget it, Mecha.
Unbelievable.
I need you to let me move forward. May I?
Want to see?
Yes.
Happy birthday.
Hi, Romina?
Yes.
No problem. I'll wait.
Pauli, I'm done with the statement.
Check if it's okay.
- This is amnesty?
- Yes.
"Beln" Beln?
Yes.
- "Beln is 27, she was deprived"
- Wait.
You named her "Beln"?
- Yes.
- Beln?
Yes, why?
Why not Mara Concepcin?
Lujn? Holy Trinity?
- Girls, Saint Brgida? What do you think?
- Beln is fine. It's short.
And also, it means where Jesus was born,
something you care about.
What a holy Willie. I can't handle it.
You're being so difficult.
Check it's fine and send it.
Romina? Yes.
Yes.
That's also why it's time
to cover the topic on these shows.
That's the proposal.
Well
Okay. Thanks for trying.
Talk to you soon. Good afternoon.
t*rd Piaste is a no.
- She owed us so many favors
- We did her succession for free.
- Let her come and ask for something.
- What an a*s.
I talked to Martn Salvador
and he said the same thing.
- They won't dare.
- The afternoon show?
They said they don't have room
for a month. An obvious lie.
- It's a lie.
- I'm afraid, Soledad,
we'll have to resort to you-know-who.
- Who?
- The only one who'll say yes.
Come on
Fine, I'll say it. Soledad Deza
lost her virginity to Beto Bolao.
- What? No.
- In Beto's bunk bed.
- No way.
- Look at Sole.
There's clearly still something there.
Look at her.
Clinton fuels her speech
to convince the voters.
That's right. And the one who heated
things up on the campaign
was no other than Madonna.
Listen, Beto, she promised
oral sex as a reward
Wait here, they'll mic you up.
HEATED
AFTERNOON
Come on. Stop, Beto. Come on. Excuse me.
- Sole.
- Beto.
- How are you? It's been so long.
- Fine.
- Thank you for coming.
- No, thank you.
No, thank you.
- We'll talk on set, okay?
- Sure.
I'll take care of something.
Come.
- Sit over there.
- There?
Because I'm serious
- You have to make me laugh
- We see that
- I didn't get my morning coffee.
- Beto
You don't make me laugh.
I can't believe it.
They say I didn't get my morning coffee,
that's why I'm serious.
- You're serious?
- I love you, guys,
but you have to write in bigger letters.
Looks like braille.
Yes, and more water, girls.
Please, it's free.
Yes, for now.
Well, we'll get into another topic now,
a more sensitive one.
We have a special guest with us.
Soledad Deza.
I go way, way back with her.
- Thanks for coming. How are you?
- Good, thanks.
Let me tell you that Soledad is
the defense attorney of Beln,
a young woman accused and sentenced
for murdering her newborn son
in Alberdi Hospital.
Well, Soledad, please tell us
your version of the incident.
I know you very well,
and I know you're a good person,
so I'm sure that if you accepted
such an appalling case,
it's because you have
something to disclose.
- First of all, thank you for the space.
- Please, thank you.
I like to do an exercise.
Imagine you feel ill one day,
you go to the hospital's emergency room
and you end up in jail.
Or that this happens to your daughter,
to your sister.
That's what happened to Beln.
She's been in jail for more than two years
for going to the hospital
over a stomachache
that ended up being a miscarriage.
- When you say it like that, it's striking.
- Terrible.
"Striking" isn't the word, Beto, but
I would say what's happening to Beln
is a great injustice.
I should tell people that Soledad
always liked arguing with me.
Like all women, she's not the only one.
No, the idea isn't to argue, at all.
No, the idea is for people to know
how the story actually went,
and to ask Judge Faria
to provide the file,
because without it, we can't appeal.
Without the file,
Beln remains defenseless.
Without the file,
she remains a victim of injustice.
Well, let's hope it happens, Soledad.
You can count on us for whatever you need.
We're always on justice's side.
- You said Judge Faria?
- Yes.
- You had kids?
- Yes.
- Congratulations.
- Good for you.
And one more thing.
I want everyone to join us on Tuesday.
This will be our first rally
for Beln's liberation.
Please, come. Thanks.
Will you stay for a moment?
Let's debate some more
about this interesting topic.
- And for that, we have a guest.
- That's right.
- A special guest.
- A grand guest.
Come in, Daniel, please. How are you?
- Thanks, Daniel.
- Thanks, Cris.
- Sit down.
- Hello, Dani.
We invited Daniel Huterini,
a lawyer from the organization
Vidas Enlazadas
and a friend of ours.
- Thank you, Cris.
- Thank you.
As you know, I always like to start
by saying that
from week six to 14 of gestation,
the baby's heart beats
- thirteen million times.
- Thirteen million times.
I can't believe it. Every time
you say 13 million times,
I can't even fathom it.
Something so small.
Thirteen million times.
Then, I would like to point out
that legalizing ab*rtion
is a trend that has spread globally.
Huterini, right?
- Yes, with an "H."
- Excuse me, sir,
but you can't call it a "trend",
it's a fight that has been going on
for decades, even centuries,
to gain the right to our own bodies.
Well, let me finish.
Each year, worldwide,
there are 50 million ab*rtion.
It's a silent and cruel holocaust.
First, it's a trend, and now a holocaust?
- I don't get all the fuss.
- You can't say that.
Since 1943, there have been
no women imprisoned over this.
Beln has been in prison for more
than two years over a miscarriage.
No, tell it like it is, Counselor.
She's in jail for homicide,
not for a miscarriage.
To talk about the case,
you must first know it.
- If you want, I can tell you now.
- Sorry.
My humble contribution to the topic
No, let's see what this moron says.
I'm sure many of you have pets, right?
- Yes, Coquita.
- So pretty.
Well, the same goes
for the people at home.
I was wondering, what do we do
when a dog is pregnant?
We don't take her to the vet
so she can have an ab*rtion, right?
We regret what happened
and desperately find someone
to gift the puppies to.
- We take them to the park
- For example.
There's always good people.
- Is this a joke?
- Excuse me, is this a joke?
- I can't believe it.
- I can't believe it.
- It's not a joke.
- I'm trying to say
there's no woman in jail
sentenced for an ab*rtion.
More than 200 women were accused
- during the last years in Tucumn.
- Good.
You lose a pregnancy,
and you get a criminal record.
- Yes, go.
- But no woman is in jail.
Exactly. Being accused
is not being in jail...
I repeat, right now, in this city,
there's a 27-year-old woman in jail for
going to the hospital with a stomachache
that ended up being a miscarriage.
You had your minute with Beto, so
Will you allow me to tell you my stance?
I had three minutes. Three shitty minutes.
I have to put up with your stupid nonsense
and the lady's dog.
All cut from the same cloth.
No. What's useless is discussing with you
what it's like to be pregnant.
You love to take ownership of everything.
You, Beto, what a dumb moron.
You, Cristina, you too. An older woman.
Not older than you.
So much hate, Counselor.
They're telling us
we have lots of messages.
"Battle royale on Beto Bolao's show."
"I can give that attorney
what she's lacking."
- The file?
- Maybe.
That's it.
- "I'll be the lawyer's 'breast' friend."
- No.
"I'd get that ab*rtion pregnant."
"Look at Beto Bolao's face,
he was so upset."
"The woman really stood up, good for her."
"Poor girl. With that defense,
she won't be out for a hundred years."
Sorry.
FREEDOM FOR BELN
ANNUL THE VERDICHi, excuse me.
Information about Beln's case.
Sooner or later,
ab*rtion will be legal in Argentina.
But what will never be legal
Hi, excuse me. May I give you
information about Beln's case?
She had a miscarriage.
The information is in there.
She went in with a miscarriage
and ended up in jail.
This only happens for a reason.
They're still deciding over our bodies.
We'll be here every Tuesday,
at Independence Park,
to demand her freedom.
Freedom for Beln,
and overturn the ruling.
Beln went into a public hospital
Do you have some left?
Yes, I went through
something similar at Alberdi.
But I don't know if I can say my name.
Yes, me too. I work for the municipality.
Hi, honey!
What's up? So?
I'll take him and be back.
Can you help me pass these around?
- Yes, of course.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, to them.
- Go.
The same thing happens to me,
I work at the municipality.
I can't say my name.
- Manuel!
- What happened to Beln's friends?
They're scared
their employers will find out.
Several women want to speak,
but they don't want to be identified.
What if we film them
with their backs to the camera?
It'd decrease the impact of the message.
Besides, we need them to come.
Want me to talk to them?
- No, I'll talk to them.
- You have the flyers?
- I'll talk to them.
- And the mailing list?
Stop, Manuel, don't run! You'll get hurt!
- I'm not Manuel, I'm Lauti.
- Sorry, Lauti.
What's wrong?
Three judges sentenced her
to eight years in prison
for a homicide
aggravated by the relationship,
without any evidence.
She's in jail because she's a woman
and because she's poor.
That's why we're all Beln.
TUCUMN: A call for a demonstration
for the freedom of Beln.
So no woman has to be scared
to go to the hospital.
Freedom for Beln now.
This is what love is.
Not that we loved God,
but that He loved us.
And he sent His son
to free us of our sins.
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because He has anointed me to proclaim
good news to the poor."
"He has sent me
to heal the brokenhearted."
"He has sent me to proclaim
freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free."
Toms?
If we help someone out of goodwill,
and that person lies and cheats,
what happens to us?
That will be that person's calvary.
We should never regret helping someone.
But I'm doing good things,
I'm helping them, and they do wrong.
Shouldn't I redeem myself?
To God, there's always redemption, Toms.
That's our job as Christians.
But give me an example,
so I see what you mean.
For example, if someone defends a k*ller.
My mom isn't defending
a k*ller, you idiot.
What did you say, Flora?
He's saying that because of my mom.
What's with you, psycho?
Don't speak like that.
He speaks about my mom without knowing.
- He's an idiot.
- She's defending a k*ller.
You two, out, now.
- Why?
- Out.
The graduation trip, the committee
- Hi, baby.
- Mom.
- Shall we?
- Can I go to Benja's for tea?
I don't think Benja's mom
wants you to. It's fine.
Wait a second. Soledad!
Try to answer
the chat conversation, please.
We're trying to set a date for the video.
You're the only one left.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome. Bye.
- Want to go out for tea?
- Yes!
This girl. My God. She doesn't care.
She won't answer any messages.
- The file.
- It's not here.
How does it feel to be on TV, ma'am?
Name?
Julieta Gmez's case.
Good morning, we're here to get the file.
The file.
- Name?
- Gmez, Julieta.
- Subject?
- You already know!
Gmez, Julieta. File 12941 from 2014.
Subject, please.
Homicide aggravated by the relationship.
Happy now?
The file isn't here.
A signature is missing.
I'll be back tomorrow.
No! What Ciro missed!
- Unbelievable.
- Unbelievable.
- In front of the goal.
- In front and alone.
He's so bad.
Your dog plays better than he does.
- We just have to teach him.
- We have to.
- That's all.
- Okay.
- Well. See you.
- Bye.
See you.
Are you Soledad Deza's son?
Yes.
Here.
- Give that to your mom.
- Okay.
- Hi, honey.
- Hi, Mom.
- How are you?
- Fine, fine.
Your dad?
Uh Upstairs.
Okay.
How long have you been playing?
Just now.
Here you have a letter.
A letter for me?
- Yes, for you.
- Okay, read it to me.
Okay.
"An eye for an eye, a son for a son."
Who gave you that?
- A man.
- What man?
A man on the street.
You were walking alone?
- Well, not alone, with Lauti.
- You can't walk alone.
- No, but...
- Look at me.
You can't walk alone.
It's not the right time
for you to walk alone.
- No, but I wasn't alone. I was with Lauti.
- I love you.
Not even with Lauti.
This
"An eye for an eye, a son for a son."
Don't repeat that!
Sorry.
- Should I?
- Do it.
- Truco.
- I want it.
Are you sure?
There. Good job. See? You won.
You had envido too, but didn't say it.
Let's play another round. Shuffle.
- Manuel!
- What happened?
You're there!
Flora, come, stay with your brother.
Watch the glass. Stay here.
Yes.
Doctor Deza.
What's up, Faria?
Haven't seen you in the club for a while.
Yes I stopped playing tennis.
The clay from the court and my knees
don't get along.
You have to be cautious.
Your daughter should be cautious.
She named me on TV.
I don't know what's with her.
Does she want all Tucumn
to be against her?
I don't think so.
I understand they're not giving her
the file that she needs
to do her job, right?
The file needs signatures,
some documents are added
You know how that goes.
No, I don't know.
Not every doctor does the same thing.
No, I'm sure about that.
You're one of those
who can save someone's life.
You can also save someone's life, Faria.
Send my regards to your daughter.
Take care of her.
You guys should go to the house
in the mountains for a few days.
What?
- It'll be for the best.
- No.
- Yes.
- No way.
Aren't you scared of what happened?
- Well, yes.
- So?
But I'm more scared
of leaving you here alone.
No, I'll tell Brbara
to come stay with me.
No. Listen to me.
If those guys got like this,
that's because you're doing things right.
Didn't you hear what your dad said?
That's why.
I'm not leaving.
I'm staying here. I'll keep you company.
I'm staying with you.
I'm not leaving you alone.
I'm not leaving you alone.
Don't worry. We won't go anywhere.
sweet companion, do not forsake me
by day or by night, until I wake up
in Jesus, Mary and Joseph's arms.
Angel of light, sweet companion,
do not forsake me by day or by night.
Angel of light, sweet companion,
do not forsake me by day or by night.
Hi, honey. How are you?
Well, I hope you're okay.
Listen, I thought that for the video,
for "Gangnam Style,"
all the parents could wear wigs.
We're doing well.
We need to recruit more people.
That's what we need the most,
because we can't keep up.
As soon as they give us the file,
we can ask for a hearing. But don't worry.
You told me the girls
from Buenos Aires are coming.
Yes, the "Ni una menos" girls.
We'll see how long they'll stay.
But that will help us, yes.
Paola read me an article
in Salta's newspaper.
Yes, that was a good article.
I'm surprised by all the signatures.
- Even from Africa.
- That's a good article.
Africa, Spain, France,
- Russia, Pakistan.
- It's good, right?
- That's good.
- It's good.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
- Thank you, Father.
- Of course.
See you later.
- Today is confession day.
- Right.
I saw you on TV.
You were good.
Thanks, but I don't think so.
You can't lose control with these people.
It's what they want.
- The girls here were laughing.
- At me.
- No.
- It's fine if they laugh at me.
No! You'll laugh at me.
When I saw you on TV,
I knew you'd get me out of here.
Baby, are you okay?
Calm down, everything's okay.
Come here, baby.
- Are you alone?
- Yes, come in.
No, no.
Tomorrow is Bartolini's daughter's
baptism. Will you go?
Diego was invited. But why should I go?
To get lynched?
You should go.
- You want me to be lynched.
- No.
No. Faria will be there.
He's the godfather. Go.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Please, wait until the ceremony ends,
will you?
Yes, I said I would.
Your dad's crazy.
He's always firing you up.
Don't bring him into this.
Well. Fine. Look, whatever you decide,
I'll be with you.
Okay. Let's go.
- Okay. Let's go.
- Let's go.
And Jesus, after being baptized
Rose from the water,
and the heavens opened.
He saw God's spirit
Thank you, Father.
- Beautiful service.
- Thank you, sir. See you soon.
Well, Ral, we have to look into that.
We can discuss
Hello, Mr. Faria. How are you?
Wait for me outside. We'll go for lunch.
In the name of the Father, the Son
You have something I need.
Amen.
I have to go to court tomorrow.
I can go get the file you'll authorize,
or I can report you to the court
for disclosing
the name of my defendant.
What would you prefer?
Go get it.
You'll just have to wait
for me to come back from my holidays.
And then it's judicial recess.
You waited so long, I don't think
two more months will change much.
What?
- Two more months?
- Wait
Won't change much?
- Don't yell in here.
- He's talking nonsense.
Calm down.
Come on! Go graduates from San Bartolom!
The ones in the back look at the ones
at the front for guidance.
I don't know what we're doing here.
This is totally crazy.
Lately, everything I suggest
seems crazy to you.
- Or stupid.
- This also seems stupid.
You do it all the time.
You discredit me in front of the team.
You did it with Coca the other day.
- With Coca? When?
- I'm not the only one who thinks this.
- What do you mean?
- You never notice anything.
Are you kidding me?
See what I mean?
You never take me seriously.
It's always you, you, you.
Stop it. I'm tired.
I must be tired.
Wait. Wait until he leaves.
Let's go!
- Hi.
- Hello.
Hi!
Hello?
- Hello, how are you?
- What's up? How are you?
- How are you?
- Fine.
They told you I was coming, right?
No. Maybe they told the other guy.
Ral went out to lunch now.
Yes. We just saw Ral
and he told us to ask you for the file.
They didn't leave anything.
But if you wait,
I can call him and ask him.
No, you don't need to call him,
he's having lunch.
I'll call him.
Let's go.
- Oh, he left his phone here.
- What a pity.
- You'll have to wait for him.
- No.
Ral told me you'd give me the file,
so if you won't do your job,
I'll call the deputy head secretary,
something I didn't want to do.
People don't do their jobs here.
The deputy head secretary
I would save myself from that
if I were you.
When she's tired, she gets mean.
The file is on the middle shelf.
If you want, bring the pile,
and I can help you find it.
In the middle to the right.
The ones up there. It's Gmez.
Fine, if you say you talked to him,
there's no problem.
There are several. We just have to look.
Alonzo,
- Guerrero
- Where are you from?
- Crdoba, ma'am.
- You moved here?
Yes, it's just that my uncle's a judge
and got me a transfer here.
My idea is to finish college.
Good. What a life change.
Yes. Beautiful. Barletta,
- Gmez
- That one!
- There it is.
- Perfect. Look.
- Is it that one?
- Right. That's the one, yes.
- What's the name of your uncle?
- Jorge Faria.
- Send my regards.
- I will. From whom?
- Beatriz. Beatriz Camao.
- Thanks.
No. Sorry about that.
John Doe fetus autopsy. Male sex.
And in the external exam they write,
"Female-sex fetus,
approximately 32 months of gestation."
What? How come "months"?
And in this certificate, it says,
"Twenty-week fetus."
See? In this one, it says,
"Twenty-six-week fetus."
And this one says, "Forty-week fetus."
- He'll become an engineer in there.
- Exactly.
- Sure.
- Look.
The medical record is all crossed out.
This goes directly to homicide.
The procedure certificate says
the body got lost.
Sure. That's why there's no DNA.
There was no body to do it on.
Yes, that's also why
they wouldn't give us the file.
Let's request a hearing now.
We've gone through an ordeal
to get the file, now let's get a hearing.
- But we have the file.
- We have it.
Come in.
August 18th
Thank you for coming.
Girls, this is Flor, she will join us.
- Hi! Welcome.
- She's writing summaries.
Mecha, how are we doing with the flags?
Fine. She'll help us.
Hi. That's good. Thanks!
Give her a flyer.
- Oh, hi!
- How are you?
Yes, communication, press.
Come in.
They're doing the stickers here.
Sit here. You can stay here.
Sole.
Explain to her. How are you?
Sole, want me to help you with something?
No.
I can give out pizzas. All right?
Okay. Fine.
Pizza, anyone?
Thanks.
- Yummy, yes!
- Thanks.
Do that, Paulina.
Go ahead.
Honey, we're recording.
Thanks.
Two seconds and you start, Perla.
So no woman has to be scared
to go to the hospital.
Freedom for Beln now.
Here, wear the scarf.
- You're next?
- Yes.
Okay.
Are you ready? Let's go.
We're rallying next Tuesday at 4:00 p.m.
in every park in the country.
Hi. We're here.
We're more than twice as many.
Thanks.
#FREEDOMFORBELEN
IN PRISON FOR BEING A WOMAN AND POOR
She threw a tantrum
when I put her shoes on.
Like for two hours.
She hates them. They're new.
- Oh.
- She likes to walk barefoot.
It's like she's a different child now.
She's growing.
Yes.
Look!
Have you read the letters they sent you?
Pull harder.
Fire!
Fire!
- Fire!
- Fire!
- Help!
- Fire!
Fire!
- Paola!
- It's on fire!
Paola, dude, come on!
Paola, help me!
Come on!
Let's go!
Help!
What happened?
Call an ambulance!
- Julieta!
- Can't you help? Julieta is in there!
- Inmate information, please.
- Pavilion 25, unit number four.
She inhaled smoke and fainted.
How long was she unconscious?
Fifteen minutes, more or less.
- Is she calm?
- I'm here.
I'm a patient here, not an inmate.
- Get away.
- I'll do it.
Here.
Are you still dizzy?
- Yes.
- Do you know who did it?
There's Juli.
Honey!
Juli!
Hi!
Julieta, come here.
- What's up?
- Follow me.
The black container, Julieta.
All yours. I'll go to the front.
It's done.
What are you doing?
I took the trash out,
and left the door open.
What if next time
I'm not there to put out the fire?
I won't escape.
I will leave through the other door.
The front door.
There.
I had a sister
whom I shared everything with.
The same group of friends,
clothes, music,
we would go out
We have to take Beln out
as soon as possible.
The situation is critical.
They lit her cell on fire.
It could have been a religious fanatic
or pressure from the inside.
In the four months since we took the case,
we've received all kinds of threats.
They wanted to stop us
She was quiet, but if I made her laugh,
her laughter was so contagious.
FREEDOM FOR BELEN
We need support from all organizations.
The next rally must be overwhelming,
and federal.
We agree.
She was joyful, bright
and always willing to help.
And she was the kindest person I knew.
to stop these intimidations is
with a park full of women.
On March 12th, 2014, she felt sick,
she went to the emergency room
and they imprisoned her.
Since this fight has to happen
on the streets,
we must call for a big national rally.
Every park in every province.
Now, my sister is Beln.
Since Beln's been in jail, my friends say
we have to go
to the places we went with her
so we never forget she's not there.
At this meeting for Beln's liberation,
we will devise
a fighting plan, an action plan.
But someone is missing.
And if someone is missing,
it's like everyone's missing.
For Beln and for everyone.
Freedom for Beln! Now!
Freedom for Beln! Now!
See you in the streets.
Free Beln,
our authorities are responsible!
Now, now, it's essential!
Free Beln,

BELN'S CASE
RIOTS IN TUCUMN
There's no doubt
that the rally has drawn huge crowds.
This has generated
Look at the mess you're making.
even outrage, one could say.
There was a moment in which
they asked to take out the banners
that weren't taken out
from the courthouse,
and we've seen
injustice.
However, in this girl's case,
it was an unexpected
and unwanted ab*rtion. A total injustice.
That's why we're here.
We want the judge to understand
- Turn that off.
- She needs to be free.
Now, now, it's essential!
Free Beln,
our authorities are responsible!
- Hello?
- Soledad Deza?
Yes.
This is Vilma Blanco, from the National
Public Defender's Office.
- Are you in San Miguel right now?
- Yes.
- Are you far from the court?
- No.
Go and talk to Gustavo Brunetti,
he'll give you a date for your hearing.
But don't waste time. He'll be waiting.
Hi. I'm a lawyer. I need to go in.
Let me see.
- Okay. Come in.
- Thanks.
Thanks.
Justice for Beln!
Hi.
Thursday at 10:00.
What?
- The hearing.
- This Thursday?
Too soon, right?
You'll have to come next year. March 25th.
My defendant can't wait until next year.
I took the case four months ago.
They denied the file...
This Thursday or next year. Your call.
Beln's story is the story
of an adverse obstetrical event
that turned into a case
of k*lling her baby
based on the testimony of witnesses
who found
an approximately 22-week-old fetus
will be here, in the courthouse,
to determine the future
of this woman from Tucumn.
- at Alberdi Hospital in this city.
- her lawyer, Soledad Deza
after having a miscarriage
in Alberdi Hospital, in this city.
Since early morning,
feminist organizations
are calling for a rally
at the courthouse park.
Ten human rights organizations
ask for her freedom
Everyone in the world
will be watching, Mom.
of k*lling her baby when he was born
in Alberdi Hospital,
in San Miguel de Tucumn.
We can't go in that.
"Suck my di... "
wh*re c*cksucker
Come on, Soledad!
Come on, Soledad!
You're here!
Are you ready?
As if.
Okay, let's go.
Woman, listen, join the fight!
Woman, listen, join the fight!
The night of March 12th, 2014,
Mabel Gmez takes her daughter
to the hospital over a stomachache.
In Alberdi Hospital,
she gets treated for what looked like
the aftereffects of a recent peritonitis.
No one, not even the nurses
or the first doctor that saw her,
not the mother or Beln herself,
suspect she's having a miscarriage.
That's when the police
burst into the operating room,
take the medical records,
cross out "miscarriage"
and write, without any evidence,
"homicide aggravated by the relationship."
Beln never had
the presumption of innocence.
She was always guilty.
To the ones who treated her
and the ones who had to defend her.
Poor public defense means
denying access to justice altogether.
We all know that.
The court should have laid off
the defense attorney
and give Beln, at least, a fair trial.
Beln was 24 years old when this happened.
She's 27 now.
She's been in custody since that day.
It took two years to sentence her.
Over two years locked up with no evidence,
no risk of flight,
and no explanation whatsoever.
Two years is a long time.
But somehow,
it still wasn't enough to read a file.
Because if anyone involved on her case
had bothered
to at least read the evidence,
they would have realized
that it's impossible to blame
someone for homicide aggravated
by the relationship
when you can't prove the relationship.
The fetus, judges,
mysteriously disappeared.
The DNA wasn't tested, there's no DNA.
In fact, the fetus changes
in each certificate.
Eighteen weeks, female, in one.
Thirty-four weeks, male, in another.
As compelling evidence, it even appeared
on the other side of the hospital,
making it impossible for Beln
to commit the crime
in the declared times.
Living in democracy, in a public hospital,
Beln was harassed,
tortured and sentenced,
all in the same night.
The doctors played the police part.
The police played doctor.
And judges incarcerated an innocent person
without evidence.
I think it's important
that we consider why we're here today.
Who does justice defend
if it's not people like Beln?
Justice is in the hands
of people like you,
each with their own beliefs and views,
but those must never come
before the work you're meant to do.
You're here, with air conditioning,
listening to a written defense statement.
You didn't hear Beln's truth
or the claims of women on the streets.
You don't listen to the cries
of an 11-year-old forced to give birth.
Or the claim of thousands of women
who want protection,
and are still m*rder*d
by their aggressors.
It's useless if you don't listen
to the social process
we're living in this country.
Right now, for example.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear the women at the park?
Listen, because the yelling won't stop.
And if you still don't listen,
our law will not be enough
when the ones who are responsible
for enforcing it
are the ones who corrupt it.
No justice will be enough.
There won't be mercy
for the weak in Tucumn
if we stay quiet in front of complicity.
You can't count on our silence.
That's the silence that kept Beln in jail
until today.
Freedom for Beln! Now!
Look outside.
All those people are here for you.
Justice! Justice! Justice!
And now that we're together!
And now that we're together!
And now that they can see us!
And now that they can see us!
Can I have another apple Mirinda?
Hi.
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Thank you! Thank you.
Oh, I'm leaving!
I'm leaving!
Congratulations!
Go, Julieta, go!
- Shall we leave?
- Yes.
- Ready?
- Yes.
- Shall we?
- Let's go.
Who's Beln? I'm Beln!
Let's go! Let's go!
Who's Beln? I'm Beln!
Who's Beln? I'm Beln!
Beln's case was a turning point
the fight for the legalization
of ab*rtion in Argentina.
Four years later,
the women's movements and dissent voices
were celebrating
in squares and the streets
the approval of the Act
of Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy.
NOT ANOTHER WOMAN
FOR SECRET ab*rtion
Currently, Soledad Deza runs
the foundation Women for Women
in the province of Tucumn.
From there, she works tirelessly
to defend the human rights
of women and dissenting voices.
Anyone who's imprisoned, deprived
of their freedom and put on trial
Flora, her daughter,
works with her in the foundation.
without evidence, would want
their identity to remain a secret.
SOLEDAD DEZA, DEFENSE ATTORNEY
THE COURT ORDERED THE RELEASE OF BELEN
Freedom and identity
are the most basic human rights, I think.
Privacy. Even the most
traditional liberalism protects privacy.
FREEDOM FOR BELN
Beln left Tucumn
and remains in anonymity.
Six months after her release,
she was acquitted of guilt and charges.
She decided to make her story public
so that the past will not repeat itself.
This movie is dedicated to her.
