La Civil
Never underestimate a mother's wrath.
Directed by Teodora Ana Mihai
Produced by One for the Road Films, Menuetto
A dark, tension-filled portrait of maternal desperation and vigilante justice in a lawless landscape, where a mother's love becomes indistinguishable from rage.
Cielo is a mother whose teenage daughter is kidnapped in Northern Mexico. When the authorities offer no support in the search, Cielo takes matters into her own hands and transforms from housewife into a vengeful militant.
