A woman named Amanda lies stricken, far from home. A young boy named David questions her, trying to make her remember. She's not his mother, he's not her son. As her time is running out, he helps her unravel a powerful, haunting story of obsessive jealousy, an invisible danger, and the power of a mother's love for her child.
Directed by Claudia Llosa, this 2021 drama-mystery-thriller unfolds as a gravely ill woman, far from home, is questioned by a young boy who urges her to remember. Through their fractured exchange emerges an unsettling tale of obsessive jealousy, an unseen menace, and a mother's fierce love for her child. Adapting a hypnotic, dreamlike structure, the film builds dread through ambiguity rather than overt shocks, blurring memory, fear, and maternal anxiety. Its mood is eerie and disorienting. With a MagicMovieScore of 5.8, it is suited to viewers who favor atmospheric, slow-burn mysteries that withhold clarity and reward patient attention to mood and suggestion.
