Here is the trailer from the upcoming film “THE MOURNING OF.” The film is directed by Merced Elizondo, starring Natalia Villegas and Julio César Cedillo (Sicario, Narcos: Mexico, Cowboys & Aliens).
Written and directed by Mexican-American filmmaker Merced Elizondo, The Mourning Of tells the story of Maribel, a young woman mourning the tragic loss of her mother in an unusual way—by secretly attending the funerals of strangers. As she searches for solace through the grief of others, her fragile coping mechanism unravels, forcing her to confront the weight of absence, memory, and reconciliation. The film is both a meditation on the unspoken rituals of grief and a study of how families carry pain across generations. With restrained yet deeply emotional storytelling, The Mourning Of illuminates the resilience and fragility of family bonds, and the enduring power of memory to sustain love.
