Malqueridas

World premiere: Venice 2023 / International Critics' Week

Exclusively shot on clandestine cell phones in a women's prison in Chile, Malqueridas forms a collective memory for a group of female inmates, showing how these mothers – and their love – withstand the trials of life in jail, far from family and loved ones. Mutual support and solidarity within the prison walls prove that hope and love can not only survive, but overcome almost anything.
