Summary
- Inspired by memoir "Nadie nos vio partir" by Tamara Trottner
- Follows mother's years-long struggle to find her kidnapped children
- Trottner's own childhood experience of being abducted by her father
The new Netflix limited series "No One Saw Us Leave" is based on the real-life events recounted in Tamara Trottner's 2024 memoir "Nadie nos vio partir." The show follows the story of Valeria Goldberg, a young woman in a Jewish-Mexican community who becomes trapped in an arranged marriage to a powerful businessman's son.
When Valeria makes a mistake that shatters her world, her husband and in-laws seize the opportunity to tear her away from her two young children, Tamara and Isaac. Leaving Valeria in the dark, they take the kids to Europe, setting off a years-long pursuit as Valeria enlists a private investigator to track them down.
The series draws heavily from Trottner's own childhood experience of being abducted by her father when she was just 5 years old. In her memoir, Trottner recounts how she and her brother were suddenly taken from their home, with their father moving them to different countries to hide from their mother. Despite the ordeal, Trottner's mother never gave up the search, doing everything in her power to find her children.
"No One Saw Us Leave" brings this harrowing true story to life, offering a gripping and emotional exploration of a mother's unwavering determination to be reunited with her family.
