Terrified by the vision of the scandal, the mother places her in one of the many still church outposts where young women are to wait secretly for the birth. There, Luca learns about the community of girls in the same situation, which even in such difficult circumstances can create their own world, based on solidarity, empathy and sisterhood.

The director and co-author of the screenplay, Pau Teixidor, based the story of Luca on dozens of testimonies of teenagers, which in the Protected content against their will were encapsulated in the “re-education centers” – Francist institutions that did not disappear with the fall of the regime. Although almost half a century has passed since the described events, the subject of the institutions and the shocking events that took place in them remains painful and up-to-date. “New life” is an attempt to give a voice to survivors who often only start talking about their past.
