Set in a windswept Sardinian village, Laura Bispuri’s gripping drama was described by Indiewire as “a primal tug-of-war between nature and nurture.” In the middle of this war is scrappy, redheaded Vittoria who, on the verge of her 10th birthday, discovers that her birthmother is not the woman who raised her (the hardworking, dark-haired Tina), but the town’s wild “party girl,” strawberry blonde Angelica. The debt-ridden and alcoholic Angelica begs Tina to let her spend time with the daughter she abandoned, setting off a fierce fight for the heart and soul of the little girl. Valeria Golino and Alba Rohrwacher brilliantly play the two competing mothers; one is a study in tempered steel, the other a damaged force of nature. But Daughter of Mine is ultimately young Vittoria’s story, as she must find her own way through this matriarchal minefield.
