About the film

Fifty-seven-year-old divorcé Orlando wakes in the middle of the night, suffers an aneurism, and falls down some stairs, sustaining injuries that will come to haunt Marina after she takes him to the hospital. Marina knows she's regarded with suspicion for her class, and, above all, gender status. She expects to gain little from Orlando's demise, but the viciousness of Orlando's family force Marina to not only clear her name, but also to demand the very thing no one seems willing to give her: respect.
