My Mother Nothing

My Mother Nothing is a metaphorical excavation into the memory of a mother who forgets. This archeology was born in 2019 when the daughter found the life diary that her mother wrote at the beginning of the illness, where the last vestiges, traces, and memories are found before she began to forget.

The last entry in the diary is a letter A. Faced with the mystery of that vowel, the daughter begins an impossible journey to find that lost word, in search of an answer to pain, to enormous love, finally, to that A.

It is a trip to places that no longer exist, where the teenage mother went into exile during the dictatorship. A place among the ice frozen in time where you can find two people who love each other, a daughter and a mother, and in everyday language there is no way to make it real, other than imagination.
