What led Alfonsina Storni to the sea? This documentary explores the life, work, and silent decline of one of the most powerful voices in Spanish-language literature.

Alfonsina Storni was a poet, a single mother, a teacher, and a woman ahead of her time. She wrote about desire, the body, motherhood, and the oppression of women when doing so meant being marginalized. Admired and rejected, celebrated late in life and judged during her lifetime, her story cannot be reduced to a single gesture or a tragic end.

Through a profound and sensitive narrative, this documentary explores the many layers of her life: a childhood marked by hardship, the struggle to survive by writing, the confrontation with a male-dominated literary world, illness, exhaustion, and extreme lucidity.

Without romantic myths or oversimplifications, we attempt to answer an uncomfortable question: what drives someone who has said everything to seek silence?

This is not just a portrait of Alfonsina Storni. It is a reflection on the price of speaking out, on the exhaustion of resisting, and on the voices that history hears too late.
