Liz’s Wait.

Liz is surrounded by doubts and uncertainties. Introspective, she searches for the reason why her partner Miguel has gone. While looking for deep inside answers, she feels the need for emotional support from her younger sister Lara. Little by little, the connection between the two sisters becomes more intense. They both rethink their inner values and strengthen their love and admiration. But Lara keeps a secret that justifies Miguel’s disappearance, while Liz observes the power of her empowerment sprout.
