Maternal
Maura Delpero
A young Italian nun sets off for Argentina to join a community that runs a home for single teenage mothers. Documentary filmmaker Maura Delporo’s first feature-length fiction film is an engrossing take on the theme of motherhood. Her intimate knowledge of the milieu she depicts makes the film all the more believable, and the captivating lead character exudes genuine empathy. One to look out for.
