Synopsis
Xun Sero, director of “Mamá”, grew up as a Tsotsil Mexican among the sacredness of the Virgin of Guadalupe and mother earth. As the son of a single mother he grew up between mockery for not having a father and blaming his mother for it; between adoration and contempt for her. “Mama” is a dialogue between a mother and a son who explore their contradictions, who know and recognize each other, and reflect on the perpetuation of naturalised violence.
