Silvia

Young director María Silvia Esteve tackled a controversial subject in her debut with a documentary about her mother's story. The visual proposal of evidencing the blurred and deformed fabric of a past that was not easy made her film a work with a beautiful commitment to the difficulty of remembering and the possibilities that cinema offers to visually accompany those wounds. It is, without a doubt, a characteristic of her style that can be seen in her next work, Creature, a short film from 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 Silvia's memory. It is the portrait of the bond between a mother and her daughters and of the unspoken words that find new meanings beyond pain.
