After giving birth to her third child, a woman flees her household and hides out in her neighbor’s apartment. As her husband searches desperately for her, the young mother takes comfort in the kindness of her neighbor and envies the woman’s respectability, not realizing that her caretaker is having an affair with a married man. An offbeat, romantic, black comedy, the film features strong performances from Cabrera’s ensemble.
