Lullaby movie storyline. Amaia (Laia Costa) has just become a mother and realizes that she doesn’t really know how to be one.

What Amaia does not know is that, even if she is now a mother, she will not stop being a daughter.

Film Review for Lullaby
There is a scene in a hospital that defines not only the character and tone of ‘Five Wolves’, but also its change of course: four characters advance through a corridor towards the camera, four characters that the viewer already knows beforehand, but, at that moment, something is no longer the same in their lives, something that invades the rest of the story.
A transit to another world is taking place and it is problematic. One of these characters will involuntarily give prominence to another. And the script written by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa herself will be reformulated, adding nuances and new and unexpected situations, and it will be enriched. All this, without losing the taste for detail and subtlety, the hallmark of the winning film at the last Malaga Festival.
From exquisite discretion and absolute tact, ‘Cinco lobitos’ talks about courageous mothers, affectionate mothers, mothers who have a hard time expressing their feelings, mothers who find their tools to exercise as such and mothers who are leaving these tools parked. By law of life, for reasons beyond their control. That the story is not typical or already seen is the merit of the director and also of its two female leads: every tear, look and movement of the body of Laia Costa and Susi Sánchez are carefully controlled by two excellent actresses who tell everything from sobriety. . There is no place for fuss or underlining.
Death, dissatisfaction in the couple, the role of grandparents, professional success, infidelity, memories, stories, children’s songs, falls, matriarchy and patriarchy, the instinct of protection or the weight of Tradition and traditions are themes that flow throughout a film that reminds us that it is possible to make up for lost time to finally steal those kisses and caresses that you couldn’t or didn’t know how to steal.
