Synopsis

A child is isolated at birth from contact with civilization by her parents, growing duality between the free space that the natural environment provides her and her house where she lives an authoritarian and repressive family atmosphere. With the escape of her mother, appears in her a desire to discover what lies beyond their limits and ultimately to where the river flows. As Águas de Sua Mãe runs the reality, memory and imagination of a being who lives on the threshold between the animal and the decay of human civilization, also placing the viewer within this cycle where the environment influences humans.The only Portuguese film to have made it to the fiction feature competition in 2014, Paulo Lima´s vision will surely caught many off guard.
