Epifanía

On the remote island of Fårö in Sweden a woman experiences the death of her mother. "As she died, my dream was born, for her return". In Colombia a mother attempts to soothe her spirit by attending healing workshops with other women. In Canada a mother prepares to become a grandmother for the second time. Reenacted memories of the two directors and twisted realities of the main characters real lives are playfully weaved together in a fictive movement from darkness to light, from death to life. Three women's pasts, presents, memories and realities are powerfully delivered through the performance of Cecilia Navia in three different roles. The film consists of three episodes: the first episode portrays a daughter missing her deceased mother with dynamic handheld camera walks and dreamlike images; the second follows the course of healing presented as a road movie; the third salutes the beginning of new life in a documentary style. These episodes impressively catch certain moments of life that walk from darkness to light and from death to life. And there stand these mothers at the very center of each moment.
