Film Details

In a movie made up exclusively of moments of naturalistic cine-verite, with authentic and open characters in front of the camera, the director approaches the theme of motherhood from different perspectives – in the foreground is the relationship between Bella and her daughter who has a slight intellectual disability, so she’s addicted to her mom, and when an unwanted pregnancy occurs she will have to take a decision for her, a moment in which the grandmother intervenes with her own opinions and advice. It’s a special situation in the lives of the two that brings them even closer – the mother is understanding and caring, the daughter is helpless and unable to decide her own future.
