The Dream of Lu

El sueño de Lú

Trailer
Directed by Hari Sama
Mexico, 2011
Drama
      Spanish
      English

Synopsis

Lucía, who comes from a suicide attempt after her son’s death for brain damage, assists a therapy group for parents that have lost their children. Small miracles and new ways of dealing with her loss give her the tools to understand how to stay alive.

Our take

Told in three parts, The Dream of Lu is a film dealing with grief: a visually haunting moving melodrama that sometimes diverts into surrealism. The second feature from Carlos Sama—who received an honorable mention at Mexico’s Morelia International Film Festival & has been compared to Kieslowski!
