Cristina is a film about love and family ties in an era where relationships are fleeting. The story delves into the life of Cristina, a young mother from the middle class, studying contemporary dance. She is supported financially by her absent mother, whose affection is conveyed through the money she sends. Cristina lingers in the remnants of a romantic relationship with Walter; out of habit, convenience, or neglect, she remains numb, devoid of love. Their young son, Darwin, acts as an excuse for this situation to persist in a gray area. Her brief romantic encounters with other men also seem insufficient to shake this strange, uncertain balance.
