Synopsis
Here Lies Beatrice is the story of a mother’s assumed last day alive, in which she reacts to post-menopausal bleeding by preparing her own burial.

Filmmaker’s Note

This film stems from the idea that it is often most difficult to be vulnerable to those who are closest to you. From the notion that preserving the feelings of others can do harm for oneself. From the unique connection between mother and daughter.
