In the Official Story, the main character is confronted with a serious dilema. She is unable to bear children so her husband brings home a young girl one day for them to adopt. She does not question where the young girl came from until one day an old friend of hers returns and describes being tortured and witnessing mother's children being taken away for political crimes. She begins to consider that maybe her daughter is one of these lost childern. As she searches for the answers and truth about her daughter, she starts to experience changes in her own life. It would be an extremely difficult journey to have to find out who the real relatives of your child are.
I believe that the mother will be able to reconcile with herself because she becomes open to the new family after some time and invites the grandmother into her home. She eventually even leaves her own husband to pursue this journey. Because she is willing to leave her world behind for the sake of her daughter, I know that she is able to grow and adapt to this new addition to her life.
