Withdrawn is a heart-wrenching drama that follows the life of a single mother named Ana, played by Leticia Martinez, who struggles to provide for her son Mateo, portrayed by Steven Durgarn, after her live-in boyfriend leaves her. Ana and Mateo's sole source of income is the meager amount of money she earns as a house cleaner. One day, Mateo, a curious and intelligent child, discovers an abandoned ATM card and begins to withdraw small amounts of money. At first, Ana is unaware of her son's source of money and is grateful for the ability to buy food, clothes and even toys for her son. But the small thefts soon escalate to larger amounts that attract the interest of the local police.

As the investigation begins, Ana dreads the possibility of losing Mateo to the child protection services. Meanwhile, as their financial situation worsens, Ana is forced to make tough decisions about her and Mateo's future as they become increasingly desperate.

The story is set in a gritty, economically deprived town, and the movie effectively portrays the harsh realities of poverty and the difficult choices that must be made to survive. The characters are well developed, with the performances from both Martinez and Durgarn being particularly outstanding.

The cinematography is a standout feature, with hauntingly beautiful shots of the inhospitable landscape, which serves as a poignant backdrop for the story. The use of natural light and muted tones creates a sense of despair and hopelessness, while the intimate camera work highlights the emotional depth of the characters.

Withdrawn is a moving and thought-provoking movie that delves into the struggles and sacrifices of those who live on the brink of poverty. Martinez delivers a raw and authentic performance that captures the complexity of a mother's love, and Durgarn's portrayal of a child thrust into a difficult situation is equally powerful. Overall, Withdrawn is a masterful piece of cinema that portrays the grit and heartache of a world often ignored by mainstream media.
