Madre

Sorogoyen is one of the best and most mature directors working out there right now and 'Madre ('Mother')' is another bulletproof reson to validate this affirmation. He does an incredible work with this powerful short that promises to stay in your memory long enough. A short film can be incredibly tricky for what may involve or should to really accomplish its target, but this one is really good. The acting is raw and real. The tension is actually shocking. It was adapted into a motion picture later, but even if that was a really good and sensitive film it never lives up to the unrestrained promises this short left. One of the best Spanish productions, period.
