Drama

Maria has just moved into a decaying flat in a poor neighbourhood. She left her family in the countryside because she could no longer stand her father's authority. Pregnant by a man who refuses to see her, Maria gets by as a cleaning-woman. When her father is brought to the city for an operation, her mother moves into her flat.

VIBE

A quiet, character-driven drama that feels like a warm, yet somber hug. It explores the quiet strength found in unexpected connections and the slow, hopeful rebuilding of lives shattered by circumstance.
