There, he stays with his mother (Teresa Sánchez), whom he has not seen since he was a kid and who is working as a domestic houseworker in a middle class home. He is forced to live in a foreing environment and has to face the reality of not knowing nothing about his mother, while he is fighting against an apparently impenetrable judicial system on his own.
