From Afar

Directed by Alejandro Fernández Almendras

In the days leading up to Christmas, a man travels from the city to the country to spend the day with his mother. Once they are together they talk about their daily lives, he helps her repair the motor pump and she does some laundry for him. Then he takes a nap and she feeds the chickens. A journey and a brief moment of intimacy between a mother and child.
