Luisa is an architect, but in her spare time also teaches art classes to children and teenagers. One day she finds 17-year-old Yuliana in the school bathroom, who has got herself pregnant and is trying to take pills to induce an abortion. Luisa decides to let Yuliana move in with her temporarily, and finds herself treading a tricky line between being a friend, mentor and stand-in mother. She soon realises she can be there for Yuliana but also needs to let her go her own way. Showing huge respect for her characters, Paz Fábrega sensitively depicts the process of fostering mutual trust while trying to find the best solution to the situation.

The filmmaker directs by focusing on the emotions of her two different characters, successfully capturing what lies deep within their gaze. The quiet scenes in Luisa’s flat of her working on a choreography that she can’t quite make headway on contrast with the sequences in the school and the children working away busily. Luisa seems completely absorbed in this creative work, and the scenes have the power and intensity of documentary footage. As in earlier films, Paz Fábrega uses a non-professional cast in Aurora, and this gives it real authenticity.
