The film is an intimate and tender portrait of Eva, a woman who has struggled with mental illness, loss, and addiction, and her search for a “normal” life, and to reunite with her son after an estrangement lasting 15 years.
“The First Woman” joins Eva as she is given permission to leave the psychiatric institution she’s lived in for six years. Now she just has to wait until an assisted living residence frees up. Cigarettes and a few conversations help time pass, but are not enough. After a long year of waiting, the news arrives: a place has been found for her.
“The First Woman” is a film about second chances, the search for “normality,” and “the borderline between lucidity and darkness,” according to Dogwoof.
