I Matter

What it’s about

Rebeca is about to age out of the orphanage where she grew up. Her father's release from prison seems to promise the family she has always wanted, and her acceptance into a university acting programme opens a new path. But as she settles into this unfamiliar world, the life she came from begins to pull her back, forcing decisions she can no longer avoid.
