How do you survive from loss? Award-Winning filmmaker and Cinequest Alumni Gabriela Tollman shines in her stunning feature debut, Somebodys Mother. In this cathartic story based on real events two sisters navigate their way through loss together. After losing her baby, Clare becomes unhinged.

Together, the two sisters search for their place in motherhood and battle their tragic circumstances.
