Bitter Water
After a childhood marked by her mother's abandonment and her father's self-destruction, Dolores faces the difficult decision of leaving everything behind to find her freedom.
Trapped in the cycle of codependency and abandonment that defines her family life, Dolores faces the most difficult decision.
The story, marked by raw realism and moments of deep emotional intimacy, addresses the themes of addiction, dysfunctional family and the complex search for identity in the midst of chaos.
“Bitter Water” is a moving drama about the struggle to find peace.
