At 100 years old, Doña Miriam confronts the end of her life cycle, passing on her wisdom as the last living traditional Costa Rican midwife in the region. In the village of Tres Equis, she has delivered more than 2,000 babies, including 19 of her own. A new generation of Costa Rican women takes up the fight to improve maternal care and humanize childbirth, centering women's bodies and choice in a culture that has largely abandoned the practices. Will Doña Miriam’s tradition live on without her?
