In My Mother Resents Me, Victoria Linares Villegas wonders if her mother has always been a sad person, and works towards an understanding of her own relationship to her that draws on old photographs and new discoveries – an exploration that takes the artist back to the Dominican Republic’s former dictatorship, and the idea that anxiety, solitude and sorrow can persist through generations.
Preparing for a role, an actress holds auditions and interviews with pregnant young women. After a series of interviews, some of the girls display the drama of their lives on screen, rewriting the film's script and taking control over it.
