Grim to say the least. It's that bad old religion raising its ugly head again.
There is an interesting hypocrisy here...it should have been developed further.
Not bad, a bit jittery...in need of refinement, technically speaking.
Watch...here
The(ir) Blurb...
Maria, a 60 year-old devout Catholic mother is growing blind. As her sight declines, her lesbian daughter Lucha, a clumsy and shy 27-year- old photographer, pleads for her mother to move in so she can take care of her. When Maria refuses to move in until Lucha recognizes that she is NOT gay, Lucha must decide between rejecting her identity and her partner whom she lives with or rejecting her mother. While making her decision, Lucha prepares a photography project in order to show her mother she can't change.
