April's Daughter
Las Hijas de Abril
Michel Franco

17 year-old Valeria is pregnant by her teenage boyfriend, but she hasn’t informed her absent mother April. When her sister Clara goes behind her back and calls April, their mother arrives full of concern, support and tenderness. But once the baby is born, it soon becomes clear why Valeria wanted to keep April as far away as possible.

 

Valeria, de 17 años, está embarazada de su novio adolescente, pero no le ha informado a April, su madre ausente. Cuando su hermana Clara llama a April sin el conocimiento de Valeria, su madre llega llena de preocupación, apoyo y ternura. Pero una vez que nace el bebé, pronto queda claro por qué Valeria quería mantener a April lo más lejos posible.
