Winner of Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Camera d’Or, Our Mothers is the gripping, powerfully emotional fiction feature debut from César Diaz.

Decades after the brutal Guatemalan Civil War, a young forensic anthropologist works tirelessly to find the remains of the missing. When an elderly woman’s witness statement gives Ernesto (Armando Espitia) a clue about the fate of his long-lost father, he investigates against the strenuous wishes of his mother Cristina (Emma Dib) and uncovers a terrible and shocking truth.

Drawn from his own history, Diaz’s multi award-winning film is a beautifully rendered study of Guatemala’s troubled past, with a rare focus on the US-backed military’s campaign against the country’s indigenous population.
