The Spark in the Meadow follows the story of Sofía Brito, a law student who experiences sexual harassment by her professor, a prominent lawyer and member of Chile's Supreme Court. At the time, Sofía was working as his research assistant on a project regarding the three exceptions for legal abortion in the country.

Torn between her commitment to women’s reproductive rights and the gendered discrimination she faced from the very man who could influence the decriminalization of abortion, Sofía’s experience became a catalyst for broader change.

Her inner struggle to press charges and the support of her fellow students sparked the feminist movement in Chilean universities in 2018. Students were inspired to protest and occupy campuses, demanding an end to machismo, male harassment, and gender-based violence.
