Astrid es una joven que se ve obligada a pasar su adolescencia en diferentes familias adoptivas, después de que su madre, Ingrad, fuera encarcelada por el asesinato de su amante. El paso por reformatorios, centros correccionales y varios hogares de acogida acaba convirtiéndose en un viaje hacia la búsqueda de su propia identidad bajo la poderosa y siempre presente influencia de Ingrid, tanto para lo bueno como para lo malo. En los tres años que marcarán su paso de una adolescencia inocente a una prematura madurez. Astrid deberá aprender el valor de la independencia y el coraje, la rabia y el perdón, el amor y la supervivencia, para ganar la libertad de su pasado, la libertad de la verdad. (Manga Films S.L.)

A drama about a girl forced to live in foster care because her mother was convicted of murder. At times the film's very atmospheric mood is enhanced by a dreamy, ambient soundtrack, and Pfeiffer fits the role of a very strong woman to a tee. And by the way, what does that woman do to stay so beautiful? Alison Lohman as the daughter is also excellent. If this girl is lucky with her movies, I bet she'll become a great actor in the future.

An excellent premise, quite solid workmanship, and most importantly a brilliant cast full of talent, including experienced and proven stalwarts. Perhaps too drawn out and thematically impersonal, but otherwise fine.

While I do enjoy movies that let me switch my brain to standby mode and relax peacefully, this one doesn't fall into that category. It belongs to a different type of films that I adore — those that demand every brain cell to work at full capacity. This category has depth and leaves you pondering long after the credits roll. Astrid's story gripped me even tighter on my second watch, so I decided to give it a higher rating.
