Synopsis

LAS HERMANAS PADILLA follows the story of ten sisters-in-law in Mexico, each affected by the anxiety and helplessness of a nameless war that has taken all of their husbands. As each waits for her husband to return home or for the names of the fallen to be delivered by carrier pigeon, they all must unite and embrace what is left of their family to survive in a world colored by the violence of war.
