The Eyes of My Mother

Francisca (Kika Magalhães) grows up lonely on a quiet farm in the country, taught by her mother (Diana Agostini) to handle death and the body without flinching. Then tragedy comes to the house, and the life she has known comes apart, leaving her alone with her darkest desires. Nicolas Pesce, making his debut, shoots it in black and white and keeps the camera still and close.
