Based on a true story, Mi Madre, My Father presents a day in the life of six-year- old Valentina Nelson. Reared by an abusive, pill-popping Mother and an absentee playboy Father, Valentina must fend for herself. She does what she can to craft the illusion of normalcy but the couple across the hall, Robert and Benjamin, perceive that she has reached a crisis point. Valentina’s tough exterior may not be enough to shield her from the harsh realities of her broken home.
