The Lost Daughter (2021)

In the heart of her middle-age years, Leda, a dedicated English teacher and mother of two, finds her nest abruptly empty as her daughters choose to live with their father in the distant land of Canada. Anticipating a wave of loneliness and longing, she's caught off guard by an unexpected sense of liberation, an unburdening that leaves her life feeling lighter, more effortless. In pursuit of solitude, she escapes to a quaint seaside village nestled in the sun-drenched landscapes of southern Italy. However, beneath the tranquil surface of her holiday, a tempest brews. Leda's serene solitude is disrupted by a boisterous family whose presence rattles her peace, their boldness bordering on intimidation. A trivial incident, seemingly inconsequential, ignites a spark within Leda, stirring up potent memories of her unconventional maternal decisions and the ripple effects they had on her family. What started as a tranquil tale of a woman's self-renewal in the face of newfound freedom, spirals into a turbulent narrative of her struggle with a restless past. As she stares into the mirror of her choices, her serene holiday becomes a fierce battle with her own history, and the woman she once was. The Lost Daughter is thus a journey of introspection and confrontation, a tale of serenity turned stormy by the ghosts of decisions past.
