Our Mothers

The movie is set in Guatemala in the year 2018. After the civil war that has hit the country, everyone is attentive and waiting for the trial that will take place against those who started the war while the statements of the victims arrive behind another. Ernesto, a young anthropologist, is dedicated to identifying the bodies of people who died during the tragic conflict. One day he, unintentionally, listens to an old woman tell a story, a story that will make him think that he could have discovered a clue about her father's whereabouts, who also died in the war and whose body was never found.

Although his mother refuses to help him or support him in the search for his father's body, he will give himself body and soul to seek the truth he's always been looking for about his dead father even though the odds are against him to make it.

This film is directed by César Díaz and stars Emma Dib and Armando Espitia. The film that was presented at the Cannes festival, won the Caméra d'Or awards (Best Opera presented at the festival) and the Authors Society Award (SACD Award).

He was also selected for the San Sebastián International Film Festival, where he won the Spanish Cooperation Award for his great contribution to human development.
