Casa de los Babys

In Casa de los Babys, filmmaker John Sayles turns his attention to an unspecified Latin country where a group of American women wait to adopt a child. From vastly different backgrounds, each has come for her own reasons, and each waits as the adoption applications move slowly through the bureaucracy. Trapped for weeks in an exotic hotel run by the enigmatic Señora Muñoz, they expose their opinions, prejudices and insecurities. Casa de los Babys is a sharp, insightful look at clashing cultures, contemporary motherhood and the mysteries of fate, showing six very different, very modern women on the verge of a life-changing event, wondering what will happen next.
