- EXTENDED SYNOPSIS
Eva recibe el alta tras seis años ingresada en el hospital psiquiátrico. Es el primer paso hacia la vida normal que anhela, pero ¿qué significa ser “normal”?
Mientras espera a que se libere una plaza en una vivienda tutelada, hace balance de un pasado de excesos y trata de recuperar la confianza en sí misma y en el mundo exterior. Cuando por fin encuentran un hogar para ella, sus aspiraciones empiezan a hacerse realidad: tener trabajo y sueldo propio, recuperar la relación con su madre… incluso encontrar el amor. Pero, por encima de todo, Eva tiene un sueño: reencontrarse con su hijo y pedirle perdón, tras quince años de silencio.
"La primera mujer" es una película sobre las segundas oportunidades, la búsqueda de la “normalidad” y el terreno fronterizo entre la lucidez y la oscuridad.
Eva has two dreams: leaving the psychiatric hospital in search of a “normal” life and to reunite with her son, after fifteen years of silence.
Eva is being allowed to leave the psychiatric institution she´s lived in for six years. It´s the first step to reach the normal life she´s been longing for, but what does “normal” mean?
While she waits for an assisted living residence to free up, Eva takes stock of her past and works on her self-confidence as well as her trust in the outside world. When there´s finally a home for her, Eva´s aspirations start to come true: finding a job and earning an income of her own, visit her mother… even find love. But, above all, Eva has a dream: to reconnect with her son and ask for forgiveness after fifteen years of silence.
The First Woman is a film about second chances, the search for “normality” and the bumpy borderline between lucidity and darkness.
