A woman loses her temper when things don't go her way. Authorities detain the adoptive parents over illegal paperwork.
The focus here is on a childless woman who seems oblivious to the illegality of this process until the day of the birth, when she's told she cannot take the baby home unless she pays $10,000. These sketchy institutions shake down those wealthy enough to pay high fees for babies. "Baby mills" house and care for such pregnant women. For that reason, some poor women are forced to give birth and give their babies up for adoption, an enterprise that has been monetized to benefit brokers. Although the movie never specifically mentions it, the Argentinian ban on abortions, except in the cases of rape and risk to the mother's life, can be thought of as one reason an illicit market in babies has grown in that country. Parents need to know that A Sort of Family is a 2017 Argentinian feature that addresses the moral, economic, and political ramifications of adoption.
