In this poetic and experimental documentary, a young woman questions Stella, a mother and cancer survivor, and watches Sonya, her daughter, to understand and communicate with Eva, the mother she lost as a child. In their time together, and in their common stories, maybe grief can ease.

In the sweetness of words and images, we discover with Eva, a short film by Nada El-Omari, an ode to the family bond.
We feel transported as if at sea, constantly listening to a familiar and comforting voice. The director opens the door to a world that is both very intimate and universal.
Despite all this sweetness, there is never any question of naivety or idealization of mother-daughter relationships. The complexity is approached with nuance and sensitivity.
*Eva" stays in our minds and hearts long after viewing.
