Madwomen

Gabriela meets Doris when she thinks she cannot overcome the biggest tragedy of her life: the suicide of her only son.

These recordings will be the access to the affective universe of a woman who lives in permanent tension with her inner demons and whose sensitivity and ambition make her the protagonist of her time.
