Black Sun

Feature Film Colombia 2016
By Laura Huertas Millán
Antonia is an opera singer of uncommon beauty, both lush and somber. When she ends up in a rehabilitation center after attempting suicide, all her family ties are irreparably broken. But unlike everyone else, her sister remains deeply affected by what happened... Conflicted family relationships and sorrows emerge little at a time becoming music, autoethnography or fiction. Family bonds are delicately explored not so much for an origin of evil but as a kind of introspective polyphony: the voices of aunt, mother and daughter (the director herself) are heard as she struggles, through fiction, to escape from her family’s fate. Relationships between body and mind, as well as depression and artistic creation, are highlighted through snippets, ongoing questioning and infinite tact.
