The First Woman

Eva is granted permission to leave the psychiatric institution where she has lived for six years. After a long year of waiting, the news arrives: an assisted living residence has been found for her. Eva takes the first steps toward the 'normal' life she longs for: securing a job, earning an income of her own, visiting her mother, and even finding love. While she takes stock of her past and works on her self-confidence as well as her trust in the outside world, she also fixes firmly on her main goal: to reconnect with the son she lost custody of 20 years ago and ask him to forgive her. The First Woman is a film about second chances, the search for 'normality' and the border between lucidity and darkness.
