One Mother | One Dog | One Love
A delicious and intimist saga of unforgetable characters.
ONE MOTHER
Only a few hours left until midnight. Finally, after many attempts, Amalia has managed, at 65 years old, to make her dream come true: to reunite her whole family for dinner on New Year’s Eve.
She knows it is going to be an intense night, full of secrets and lies, of many laughs and confessions contained for so long that are finally bursting to let them see what is left to live. She knows it is time to act and she is ready to not let anything stop her.
The narrator, one of her children, called Fer, recently abandoned by his boyfriend, tells us about the adventures of his two sisters, Silvia and Enma, who are going through problems of their own: Silvia is going through separation with her husband, a Nordic man named Peter, and Enma is facing early maternity with her lesbian friend. And then there’s Eduardo, the mother’s unruly brother, of whom we know very little and who lives a ver chaotic life; and the mother herself, the axis of the story, a fun and irreverent woman that can drive anyone mad, but so sensible when it comes to serious issues that she is worthy of admiration.
One Mother (Una madre) is not only the portrait of a courageous and endearing woman, and of the members of her family that depend on her and on her peculiar energy to face their lives, but also a glance of what human condition is capable of showing when one delves into its best version.
ONE DOG
When Fer leaves his mother’s home after lunch, a car runs over his dog R. Fer rapidly takes badly-wounded R to the vet, and while the dog struggles between life and death, Fer waits for a call that never comes in a café close to his mother’s home. His mother enters the café and waits with her son. Also Fer’s sisters, Silvia and Enma, join the wait. Every single member of this family is on the same boat, even if this is at risk of sinking.
For the following hours, Fer will try to do his best to hide that he is waiting for a feared call that might bring down the peace that has been present in his family since R arrived to their lives when he was just a puppy. That calm might be more precarious than it seems.
When the phone finally rings, the night will bring along unexpected events and all sort of confessions, truths that were hidden, and a name that, out of a family photo album, Fer has to pronounce if he wants life to come back to normality.
ONE LOVE
Enma, Fer’s sister, is marrying Magalí, an Argentinian woman who she considers her definite love after the many love disappointments in the past. The whole family is involved in the arrangements to make it the best wedding ever. Moroever, day of the wedding coincides
with Amalia’s birthday (the mother). Therefore, two events are to be celebrated in the same day.
However, the night before the wedding, a call breaks the family harmony and the three siblings have to hide it from Amalia.
