Amaia and Javi have just had a baby, but due to Javi’s long absences for work, the burden of childrearing falls entirely on Amaia (Laia Costa: Victoria; Only You – ZFF 2019). Seeking support, she arrives in a charming coastal town to stay with her parents. However, when her mother falls ill, Amaia is forced to take on all of her responsibilities too. A deeper understanding is born between mother and daughter. Lullaby premiered at the Berlinale and Pedro Almodóvar endorsed it as the best Spanish debut of recent years.
