Mommy come back
Julia, a 37-year-old woman, faces the challenge of caring for her mother, Lucero, who suffers from dementia and often runs away from home. The story follows Julia's daily struggle to keep her mother safe while dealing with the pressure of finding a balance between her own needs and devotion to Lucero. Through moments of tenderness, frustration and nostalgia, Julia struggles between placing her mother in a nursing home or continuing to care for her, putting her own personal and professional life at stake.
"Mommy come back" seeks to move and challenge the viewer, offering a window into a reality that is rarely represented in cinema: that of caregivers, who love and sacrifice, while facing the pain of the gradual loss of those most important to them.
This work, with its minimalist atmosphere and intimate cinematography, is a meditation on memory, oblivion and unconditional love.
