Madres con ruedas

Mónica tuvo poliomielitis a los seis años, durante una de las epidemias nacionales, en 1957. A pesar de que la enfermedad le ha dejado una severa disminución de la movilidad de sus brazos y piernas, Mónica ha tenido el espíritu para desarrollar su vida, trabajando como maestra particular de inglés, más tarde enamorándose y enfrentando el desafío de ser mamá. Tras el nacimiento de su hija, Mónica sintió la necesidad de testimoniar la experiencia de las mujeres en condiciones similares a la suya y emprendió la realización de un documental sobre sus colegas, las "madres con ruedas", con la ayuda de su esposo cineasta. Las imágenes de ese documental se entrelazan con las de la propia vida familiar de Mónica y de la crianza de su hija.
