Mother's Daughter

Directed by Mauricio Sotelo

Peru | 15 min | 2023

After memories of the past are unleashed, a daughter reaches the limit of the conflictive relationship with her mother in the middle of a birthday celebration.

A daughter takes care of her sick mother. They seem to be trapped and hurt by their past. When the daughter senses that her mother is soon to die, a feeling that there is something yet to be resolved won't leave her -not even in the middle of a birthday celebration.
