BELÉN
“Belén” is inspired by the 2014 case of a young Argentine woman whose miscarriage led to a murder charge and 881 days in prison. As attorney Soledad Deza fights for her release, the case sparks public outcry and becomes a symbol of institutional injustice. Blending courtroom urgency with intimate human stakes, Belén explores systemic violence and the struggle for justice.
