SYNOPSIS: Everybody has a mother. But motherhood still remains a state filled with silences. Between society’s mandate to be a ‘good mother’ -always patient, caring, happy and the reality of mothers around the world. Aiming to break this silence through candid interviews with mothers of all backgrounds and generations in Latin America, MALAMADRE narrates the untold story of motherhood, from the mother’s point of view.
