SYNOPSIS
Victoria Rodríguez González, a successful New York–based theater writer and director, has built a life defined by control, distance, and artistic acclaim. When she begins receiving calls from a 787 number, she ignores them until she learns they’re from Sofía, the sister she has never met, urging her to return to Puerto Rico as their mother, Ana, nears the end of her life. As the calls persist, a past Victoria has long buried begins to unravel the life she has carefully constructed.
Reluctantly, Victoria returns home and meets Sofía for the first time, warm, impulsive, and deeply rooted in her community. As Victoria moves through Sofía’s world, her confidence and magnetism begin to eclipse the delicate balance Sofía has built: among her friends, and particularly around Gustavo, whose attention subtly shifts toward Victoria. What starts as admiration quickly exposes an old pattern: Victoria’s ability to command a room without noticing who is left behind.
Victoria also confronts Ana, her deeply religious mother, whose faith and silence led to Victoria’s exile as a teenager. The family home becomes a charged space where affection, resentment, and unspoken truths collide as Ana’s health deteriorates.
After Ana collapses and later dies, the silence finally breaks. Victoria reveals the truth she has never spoken aloud: as a child, she was sexually abused by Héctor, a respected young churchgoer, and later forced into an abortion, an act that stripped her of the possibility of having a family of her own. The revelation reframes everything: Victoria’s exile, Ana’s complicity through silence, and the life Victoria built in response to that rupture.
As the sisters sift through the private archive Ana left behind, they uncover evidence of love that was real but deeply flawed. Victoria invites Sofía to leave Puerto Rico with her, but Sofía chooses to stay, no longer orbiting her sister’s gravity, anchored instead to her own community and sense of self. Victoria returns to the theater, transforming survival into authorship, no longer performing strength, but finally reclaiming her voice.
