Synopsis

In the last moments before childbirth, a mother realizes how similar her child’s life will be to hers. A Mãe de Sangue is a work by Vier Nev, a multidisciplinary Portuguese artist. An animation whose hypnotic visual journey demonstrates that every image can have two simultaneous meanings. Each frame is minutely composed of an image with two possible interpretations which is responsible for a narrative that does not work in a conventional way. This short film is the result of a strange and psychedelic visual study on the limits of simultaneous narrative.
