Nina and Laura is based on a personal experience of the director. The process of making it became a quest to understand how different people face in different ways the loss of a loved one. The film walks in the thin line between fiction and documentary, closer to an essay. An essay on grief.Nina and Laura are a couple whose four year-old son Mateo has just died. Laura moves back to Chile seeking the comfort of her family while Nina, intending to reunite with her shortly, is left to tie up loose ends at home: storing Mateo’s things and renting out their house. “What a big space such a little body can fill, what a massive abyss there is now between your mom and me”.
