Andrea is a Communist insurgent who fights the government in an armed conflict. When it is time for her to give birth, she seeks refuge in the city with her best friend Joyce, whose husband Emil has no sympathy for the likes of Andrea. When Andrea's husband is reportedly killed, she temporarily leaves her son in their care, and the childless couple becomes emotionally attached to him. But before Andrea can return to her baby, she is arrested by the military. With no news of Andrea's whereabouts and believing her dead, the couple decides to keep the boy and take him to the United States. When they return to the country after seven years for a visit, Andrea confronts them and tries to claim his son back.
