As a child, Ema fell from the roof of her grandparents’ summer house. Her mother watched her fall and did nothing to save her. Ever since this accident, which left her paralyzed for months, Ema has been distressed about the bond with her mother. Who is Ema’s mother, really? As an adult, and reluctantly pregnant with her second child, she embarks on a journey to her mother’s provincial hometown looking for answers. In La sal, Adriana Riva tells the intimate story of a dysfunctional mother–daughter relationship.
