On July 19, 2005, María Elena Gómez, a 53-year-old Argentine English teacher, went out with her partner, Ernesto Jorge Narcisi, in Buenos Aires. That night, he stabbed her to death. The media reported the news as a "crime of passion in Puerto Madero." Ten years after the event, Mara Avila, the victim's daughter, redefines that supposed "crime of passion" as a femicide and decides to make a first-person documentary, to give a new political meaning, both subjectively and socially, to her greatest family tragedy.
