Mother
Directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen
Produced by Le Pacte, Malvalanda
A haunting psychological drama about a mother's unresolved grief and obsession, where the appearance of a stranger threatens to unravel her fragile recovery.
Ten years have gone by since Elena's six-year old son has disappeared. The last thing she heard of him was a phone call he gave her, saying that he was lost on a beach in France and couldn't find his father. Nowadays, Elena lives on this same beach and manages a restaurant. She is finally beginning to emerge from this tragic episode when she meets a French teenager who strongly reminds her of her lost son. The two of them will embark on a relationship which will sow chaos and distrust around them.
