On the other side of the door there's Ida, her mother, with some flowers as a birthday gift and her face strained by the gravity of what she's about to confess.
LADYBUG An important call is the trigger for Vicente to face an unresolved issue. A very intimate story about parent-son relationship, described in an authentic, sweet, visually expressive style and with a touch of humor.​
