Synopsis

Ten years have gone by since Elena’s six-year-old son has disappeared. Nowadays, Elena lives on a beach in France—the last place where her son was spotted. As she begins to heal from this tragic episode, Elena meets a French teenager who strongly reminds her of her lost son.

Our take

Expanding his Oscar®-nominated short, director Rodrigo Sorogoyen takes to the beaches of southern France for a simmering tale of love and loss. Starring Marta Nieto—who took the Best Actress prize at Venice Horizons—Mother is a seductive psychological drama from one of Spain’s brightest talents.
