WHY WE LOVE IT
Alicia Albares, an acclaimed short filmmaker and winner of several awards, makes her feature film debut with a disturbing film that blends psychological thriller and gothic horror. This project has taken part in prestigious international platforms, including Guadalajara, Frontières in Canada, and Fantastic 7 at the Marché du Film. LA MALA MADRE explores motherhood from an unsettling and female-driven perspective, where light turns to shadow and reason is threatened by a darker instinct.

SYNOPSIS
Victoria wakes up sore and disoriented in an isolated mansion, with no memory of how or why she got there. A charming doctor and her mother are taking care of her, insisting she’s in shock after being in an accident that killed her daughter. But as the days go by, Victoria begins to realize her two caretakers are holding her prisoner, and slowly uncovers a chilling truth involving secrets, abductions, and murders.
