Reinalda del Carmen, my mom and I

About This Movie

Reinalda del Carmen, my mom and I is a haunting documentary that really digs into the layers of memory and loss. The film is a raw exploration of a mother, whose memory lapses are heart-wrenching, and her daughter’s tireless quest to untangle the threads of their shared past. You really feel the weight of absence — not just of the mother’s memories but of a best friend who vanished under tragic circumstances. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of reflection that linger in the air. There’s a certain grit to the visuals, almost like you're peering into personal family archives. It's not just a documentary; it's a meditation on what it means to hold onto love and grief simultaneously.
