Amanecer (Carmen Torres)

Synopsis

The director's mother died when she was 14. As her voice and gestures started to fade from Carmen's memory, she felt a growing need to find her biological mother. Thus began a 20-year quest. Amanecer explores ideas of maternity, identity, trauma and memories, ties, love and loss, what makes us who and how we are.
