Alicia is a teacher, a wife to a wealthy business man who is involved with the Government and a mother to a beautiful 5 year old little girl-Gabby. In the beginning it has Alicia teaching the history of Argentina to a room full of young men. Alicia appears to have her head in the sand with the current history that was being made at the time. It was'nt until her school friend Anna came to town and ended up telling her that years ago she had been kidnapped and tortoured and while she was there Anna had learned of women that were pregnant and their babies were taken and sold. After hearing this it sparked Alicia's curiosity of where Gabby came from. Alicia had mentioned it to Robert and he blew her off. So Alicia started some investigating on her own. The people that were protesting in the street had family members that had been kidnapped and never returned and among those were preganat women. Alicia was at a hospital where Gabby was supposed to have been born and got no information. While she was there she ran in to this woman and they started talking about missing babies. This woman took her to this office and she was looking through some pictures of children that were adopted or missing.
One morning while dropping Gabby off at school there three women watching her. This left her very uncomfortable. Later on, this one particular woman aske Alicia to have coffee wth her and she started talking about her son and daughter in-law being married and abducted. The daughter was pregnant at the time. Gabby had been born around the same time her grandaughter should have been born and there was a picture of the daughter in-law when she was little and it looked alot like Gabby. Alicia got very emotional and started tearing up. Alicia had taken the grandmother to meet Robert and he got very angry and yelled at the woman. The woman left and then Robert and Alicia were talking and he asked where Gabby was and Alicia said she was gone, Robert freaked out and started banging Alicia's head against the wall and smashed her fingers in the door. The phone rang and it was Gabby, she was at her granma's and grandpa's house. Gabby started singing on the phone and then Alicia left.
There is always hope in whatever is going on in life. With the grandmother she finally had hope that maybe her grandaughter was alive. Hope that maybe she might have something to cling to even if it wasnt. I think in the end Robert felt hopeless because he just destroyed his marriage to his wife by being cruel and abusive. As far as Alicia goes I believe she feels her marriage is over and she sets off to go and get Gabby and I would like to think that her and Gabby are happy together no matter what.
