Synopsis

After experiencing multiple miscarriages and the societal shame that comes with it, recently married Alejandra fakes a pregnancy. What starts as an elaborate lie turns into a complex charade that threatens to upend her life and relationship, and ultimately unleashes a media scandal that shakes the entire country.

In A CHILD OF MY OWN, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Maite Alberdi (THE MOLE AGENT, THE ETERNAL MEMORY) takes a uniquely intimate look at the incident through the words of those who lived it, examining the crushing weight of societal expectations, the elusive nature of truth, and the enduring power of family.
