Silvia

[SIlvia Esteve]

Young director María Silvia Esteve tackles a controversial issue in her debut with a documentary telling her mother's story. The visual approach of evidencing the blurred and deformed material from a past that was not easy, has made her film a work, a beautiful dedication to the difficulty of remembering and the possibilities that cinema offers to visually accompany those wounds. This is, without a doubt, a characteristic of her style that can be seen in her next work, Creature, a short film made last year.

Synopsis: In a failed attempt to rebuild Silvia's life, her daughter seeks to make sense of a story steeped in violence and denial, experimenting with blurred images of her parents and inconsistent memories of her sisters. The film deals with the differences that arise in the reconstruction of their memory of Silvia. It is the portrait of the bond between a mother and her daughters and of the unspoken words that find new meanings beyond pain.
