April's Daughters
A mother's love knows no limits.
Directed by Michel Franco
Produced by TEOREMA, Videocine
A tense family drama centered on a teenage pregnancy that forces a fractured mother-daughter relationship into uncomfortable proximity, exploring the complexities of maternal love and abandonment.
Valeria is 17 and pregnant. She lives in Puerto Vallarta with Clara, her half sister. Valeria has not wanted her long-absent mother, April, to find out about her pregnancy, but due to the economic strain and the overwhelming responsibility of having a baby in the house, Clara decides to call their mother. April arrives, willing to her daughters, but we soon understand why Valeria had wanted her to stay away.
