Angel Face
Directed by Vanessa Filho
Produced by Moana Films, Windy Production
A melancholic, intimate portrait of a fragile mother-daughter bond tested by maternal abandonment and a child's desperate attempt to reclaim her mother.
8-year-old Elli and her mother, Marlène, live in a small town by the French Riviera where they act out to relieve boredom and hide from social services. When Marlène caves in to yet another night of excess, she chooses to leave Elli behind for a man she just met. The young child must confront her mother's demons in order to get her back.
