In the remote jungles of northwest Colombia, where there are no hospitals or doctors, traditional midwives are often the only source of care for pregnant women. This documentary follows 28-year-old Keyla, an aspiring midwife, on her first solo examination deep in the rainforest, guided by the wisdom of her mentor Pacha, known for her plant-based remedies passed down through generations. Alongside nurse and activist Manuela, who fights for midwives’ recognition and safer births, these women risk treacherous journeys and political instability to offer life-saving support. It's a story of resilience, tradition, and the power of women helping women in one of Colombia’s most underserved regions.
