Belén is a 2025 Argentinian historical drama film directed by Dolores Fonzi about the true story of Julieta, a young woman who was jailed in the conservative province of Tucumán for a miscarriage.

Belén is based on the true story that sparked an international movement, chronicling the harrowing case of Julieta, a young woman falsely accused of infanticide, and Soledad Deza (Dolores Fonzi), the fearless lawyer who takes on the highly controversial, explosive case.

Belén takes us to Tucumán, a conservative region of Argentina, where Julieta's trial becomes a flashpoint for the ongoing fight for women's reproductive rights. As Soledad faces off against a corrupt, classist, and patriarchal legal system, Julieta's story ignites a groundswell of outrage and solidarity, galvanizing an unstoppable movement for justice and bodily autonomy.

Based on Ana Correa's book 'Somos Belén,' the film is equal parts gripping courtroom drama, searing critique of systemic injustice, and a celebration of resilience and sisterhood.
