Ecce Mater is a short film focused on the maternal figure and on the greatness of the love of a mother who in any condition manages to stay next to her child. Emma and her mother, after a violent earthquake, find themselves buried under the rubble, alone, in an infinite darkness, in an infinite time. Infinite like the fear that animates the child and like the love of the mother who supports her. Ecce Mater. Here is the mother. Suffering like the Ecce Homo, the Christ, before Pontius Pilate, but powerful in the same way, because she is animated by the same powerful love. Here is the mother, who suffers in seeing her suffering creature, the mother who is there, who never gives up and who finally allows her daughter to be re-born, coming out into the light after days of darkness.
