Eva has been in Palma’s Psychiatric Hospital for six years. Cigarettes and some conversations are good to kill time, but not enough. After a year of waiting, the news arrives: there is a shelter available for her.
Eva takes the first steps towards a new life: a house, the reunion with her mother, a job and love. However, her dream and greatest anguish is to know if she will be able to find and count on her son’s forgiveness after ten years of silence.
“The First Woman” is a film about forgiveness and second chances, about the search for “normality” on the borderline between lucidity and darkness.
