Milady was born in 1994 in Columbia. Soon after, she was adopted by an Italian family and given a new name. She does not know who her biological parents are or why her mother abandoned her immediately after birth. Her happy childhood captured on home recordings and the support of her loving adoptive parents did not help her to get rid of incessant questions and doubts. Together with a few other adopted children, she decides to share her story and experiences.
