Director Maite Alberdi in attendance for post-show Q&A

From two-time Oscar nominated director Maite Alberdi (The Mole Agent, The Eternal Memory) comes this engaging stranger-than-fiction story about a woman, desperate to be a mother, who faked her own pregnancy and attempted to have a baby. Based on a real incident that took place in Mexico in 2009, the film tells the story of Alejandra, who after multiple miscarriages, lied to her hopeful husband that she was finally having their child. Even after months of sustaining the complex charade—from obstetrician visits to a baby shower—Alejandra appeared to have figured it all out. Or did she?
