Synopsis "Madrugada / Dawn (in Spanish)"

«Sobrevivir con la mayor gracia posible. Con el mismo silencio con que luchan las plantas cuando son trasplantadas y sus raíces conocen el vacío . A pesar de que en 30 años de vida no lo conoció, Trinidad Ríos necesita encontrar a su padre. Ella tiene miedo de ser rechazada, aunque el miedo no le es inusual: toda su vida, desde la madrugada que quedó huérfana en la salvaje jungla de Madre de Dios, en la selva sur del Perú, hasta que tuvo que escapar a la ciudad de Lima, ha tenido que luchar contra tratantes de mujeres, mineros ilegales, trabas machistas y una sociedad extremadamente racista. Se podría decir que hasta ahora ha sobrevivido con éxito, pero una enfermedad producida por contaminación de mercurio la obliga a buscar a la única persona en el mundo que puede salvarla a través de un trasplante. La aceptará su padre, un cantante bipolar que se gana la vida imitando a los Bee Gees y que ignora que ella existe? Y si la acepta, estará dispuesto a dejar su único sueño solo por salvar la vida de su hija? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Survive with the most possible grace. With the same silence that plants fight with when they are transplanted and their roots feel emptiness. Despite that in 30 years of life she never met him, Trinidad Ríos needs to find her father. She is afraid of being rejected, although fear isn't unfamiliar to her: all her life, since the dawn she was orphaned in the savage jungle of Madre de Dios, in the southern jungles of Peru, until she had to escape to the city of Lima, she has had to fight against human traffickers, illegal miners, machista barriers, and an extremely racist society. You could say that until now, she has survived successfully, but an illness produced by mercury exposure forces her to search for the only person in the world who could save her through a transplant. Will she be accepted by her father, a bipolar singer who makes a living imitating the Bee Gees and ignores that she exists? And if he accepts her, will he be willing to give up his only dream just to save the life of his daughter?
