When Christina and Maria were small, their mother was hospitalized and the police found two starving girls. Against advice, an officer nursed both girls to life and they were adopted to Denmark. But a feeling of emptiness came with it.
- They said I shouldn't breastfeed you. But I feared you would die if I didn't.
Maria and Christina are in Bolivia, where they face the woman who found them as children. She was a police officer. The two sisters have traveled to their country of birth in an attempt to find their biological mother and get answers to what happened back then. What it was that led to them being adopted.
The officer says that she had just returned from maternity leave when she was called to a house where she found two malnourished girls. Those girls were Christina and Maria.
Tears well up in the twins as they listen to the story of themselves as children. Because it quickly becomes clear to them that the woman in front of them is one of the reasons they are alive.
