A poetic documentary on memory, where the daughter of a diplomat faces her childhood and the drama of her mother.
"How would it be to reconstruct the memories shared by a family, from the key and most intimate fragments recorded in home videos? That is the exercise behind this Argentinian documentary, awarded at the International Documentary Film Festival in Buenos Aires 2019. 'Silvia' focuses on the eponymous protagonist, wife of a diplomat with whom, in appearance, she led a perfect life. Her daughter, director María Silvia Esteve, meets with her sisters to trace a path through their shared family memories, which reveals a very different reality. It is a brilliant film exercise that raises questions about the accuracy of the audiovisual record, the subjectivity of memory, and the relationships between mothers and daughters."
