CONNATURAL

Peru, 2018, 82′

An elderly mother lives her last years of life at home in the care of her daughters. In this environment of serenity in which they lead their daily lives, an awareness of death is emerging. Silence and loneliness create an atmosphere of grief where hope and faith seek shelter so as not to become extinct.
