“Corazón Partido” chronicles the story of a young woman who returns home in search of the son that was taken away from her at birth. In a city of 25 million people, she will unknowingly fall in love with a married man who turns out to be her son’s adoptive father. She will then struggle with the lifelong question; does giving birth make you the parent of a child or is it the care and love that you put into raising him/her that earns you that right?
