**A sad look at the conception of life.** Sofia and her husband want to adopt. When Sofia read in the newspaper the news that a baby was found dead and abandoned in a garbage dump, that desire is gradually being channeled into a need: dignity, compassion, personalization. Then her struggle to give her a dignified burial begins, one in which she is seen as crazy for being interested in a human being she does not know, from whom she will obtain absolutely nothing, which many do not even consider as such. There is talk of anonymous deaths, of crimes without criminals, of defenseless victims, of corpses trapped in the bureaucracy condemned to oblivion by the government, of the spiritual corrosion of the laws. The story, carefully and meticulously carried on the shoulders and gestures of actress Amparo Noguera, also reaches universal dimensions, committing the viewer to moral dilemmas: how many times have you really been interested in a story you read in the newspaper? How far does your soul reach to demonstrate your empathy towards the other? What is a human being for you? the message of Aurora, that the Chilean director, Rodrigo Sepúlveda, develops in quiet atmospheres and bathed by the dull blue of the sea and the Gray of the sky, it feels like a personal movie, brave, although its strength is mitigated slightly by its closeness in the real story in which it is protected. The film is based on the life of Bernarda Gallardo. **Awards** Best Film, International Competition Santiago International Film Festival. My score 6/10
