Daughter of Mine

10 year-old Vittoria lives with her parents in a small Sardinian community. Nearby, living in relative decrepitude, is Angelica, who is facing eviction for her failure to pay taxes. The unpredictable Angelica, who is frequently drunk and prone to unfortunate assignations with the men of the town, makes a final request before she leaves: she would like to spend some time with Vittoria.

Laura Bispuri’s follow-up to Sworn Virgin (Haifa IFF 2015) offers another story of female self-discovery, with two wonderfully vital performances by Italian stars Valeria Golino and Alba Rohrwacher.
