When Antía turns eighteen she abandons her mother without a word of explanation. Julieta looks for her in every possible way, but all she discovers is how little she knows of her daughter. Julieta is a story of a mother’s struggle to survive uncertainty, and of the unfathomable mystery that leads Antía to abandon the people she loves.
