SYNOPSIS
José Pablo promised his 98 year old grandmother to shoot a film about her life. Abolishing the distance between fiction and non-fiction but also between present and past he makes his „Mamacita“, the unloved child of a inzestuous relationship, meet her long ago past away grandfather to get a ardent expected excuse. MAMACITA is a documentary film that uses imagination to rehabilitate a family history and to reconcile the protagonist with her past.
