Synopsis
When vacating her parents' house, Catalina Villar finds at the bottom of a drawer an old identity card with the photo of Ana Rosa, her paternal grandmother, of whom the only thing she knows is that she underwent a lobotomy at the end of the years. 50. The question of why such an intervention runs through this film and leads to the breakdown of a family story marked by silence. Interviews with prestigious psychiatrists, family visits and archives from various origins reveal a memorial of coincidences and accidents that transcend private tragedy and reveal a collective history, a history of control over women's bodies. In a personal search, the Colombian documentary filmmaker based in Paris notices the close relationship between psychiatry and society, causing the review of a time in Colombia and, in it, of the narratives on which the great story of the good family has been sustained.
