Jessica, a girl of humble origins, came from the countryside to study Psychology. During her internship at the university, she is introduced to Barbara, a patient diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

These two women couldn’t be more different from each other. While Jessica is too severe and knows nothing about her own personality, Barbara is a time bomb, always working in the process of self-knowledge. As the treatment goes on, Barbara gains limits and confidence to recover her life, while Jessica realizes that she never truly had one. All the unspoken questions and doubts that the student had never faced before suddenly erupt, breaking Jessica's character structures. Her old life doesn't fit her anymore, and a new one does not yet exist. She is in a place of emptiness, of nothing.

Feminine and strong, about the will to live or to die, "Why Won't You Cry" addresses the controversial topic of suicide.
