Amaia has just become a mother and realizes that she doesn't really know how to be one. When her partner goes away for several weeks because of his job, she decides to go to her parents' house, in a lovely coastal village in the Basque Country, and so share the responsibility of looking after her baby. What Amaia doesn't know is that, even though she is a mother now, she is still a daughter.

I can’t recall a recent movie that is more attuned to both the challenges and the opportunities that parenthood brings to bear upon not only the parents but also upon the entire family at large.

Rated: 9/10

In Their Own League

A generational drama about the complexities of parent child dynamics, particularly the much overlooked mother daughter relationship, its resounding empathy is matched only by its astonishing craft.

Cinco Lobitos is one of the best films to have passed through the festival circuit last year. And better yet, when compared to the hundreds of directorial debuts that arise yearly, this one stands out.

Rated: A

As the movie progresses, it transforms into a clear and direct reflection on the role of women as caregivers, focusing on the imposed responsibilities of a patriarchal society. [Full review in Spanish]

Angle on motherhood you've not seen before. Is a baby gift from heaven or from hell? Amaia has run out of resources, but so has everyone else. Brilliantly acted and directed. Masterpiece.
