- When the single mother nurse Gloria has financial difficulties, her colleague and friend Dr. Ana Torres invites her to move with her six year-old daughter Vicky to her old big house where she runs a gynecologic clinic. In return, Gloria would assist Ana in her clinic in the afternoons. Sooner Gloria finds that Ana dedicates to abortion in her clinic, and also that she is lesbian and has a crush on her. When Ana gets pregnant of her lover Javier, Ana proposes an abortion, and after more than three months, the reluctant Gloria accepts her offer with tragic consequences.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Ana, a gynaecologist, invites Gloria, a nurse and friend from the hospital, and Glorias daughter Vicky, to come and live with her. The nurse who used to help Ana in her private clinic has moved on, so Gloria will be the new assistant. It seems like a reasonable arrangement. The house, a section of which is used as a private clinic, is light, cheerful and peaceful. But there is something sinister alive in there.
Once she has moved in, Ana reveals to Gloria that her private practice is in fact an abortion clinic.
A clinic where truth, pain, life and death all intermingle. A clinic in which the patients and doctors are never truly alone. They are always dragging their pasts behind them towards the room upstairs.
