Ten days in the life of a thirty-six-year-old woman.Ten days of a legal and administrative marathon, that turns obsessional, to get a mother back; a mother who does not even want to be one. Ten days for a transformation: a girl who becomes a woman, a woman who finally understands that someone's happiness cannot be made despite oneself, and certainly not despite her own mother.
