So Much Tenderness follows Aurora, a Colombian environmental lawyer who is forced to flee her native country when her husband is murdered. With the help of a young couple, she illegally crosses into Canada from the U.S. inside the trunk of a car, and is forced to start her life from scratch as a refugee. Six years later, she leads a seemingly normal life in Toronto with her tempestuous daughter Lucía, until her stranged cousin Edgar, who was a suspect in her husband’s murder, resurfaces, threatening everything he’s built.
