A group of mothers discovers that cannabis oil offers a lifeline of improved quality for their children suffering from refractory pathologies. Their journey to legalize this medicinal elixir becomes a battle against stigma, misinformation, and criminalization. Through a poignant choral narrative by filmmakers Lisandro Costa, Alejandro Espolsino, and Francisco López, spanning over four years, the documentary dives deep into the lives of these families. It explores their struggles, clinical advancements, and scientific research, urging for medical education and the decriminalization of nature to benefit those who need it most: the patients.
