Mis dos voces
(My Two Voices)
"I exist. It is soft, so soft, so slow.
And light: it seems as though it
suspends in the air. It moves."
―Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
A poetic reflection on the fluid nature of identity, Mis dos voces focuses on Ana, Claudia, and Marinela, three Latin American women who share their intimate experiences of immigrating to Canada while reflecting on themes of violence, belonging, motherhood, and reconciliation.
Weaving together carefully framed close-ups of hands and faces with contemplative images of private and public spaces against a richly layered soundscape, the film creates an impressionistic tapestry that resists a centralized perspective and echoes the protagonists’ fragmented and hybrid identities.
