CONFESSIONS TO THE MOON
Logline
A single mother, hardened by unresolved rage, finds her bond with her teenage daughter after an ancestral vision reveal intergenerational wounds within the family—guiding Ana toward reckoning, understanding, and the possibility of release.
Confessions to the Moon is a haunting and intimate journey through the blurred edges of memory and reality. Ana, a weary single mother, begins to unravel as echoes of her childhood resurface—revealing a cycle of inherited trauma shared by her daughter Megan, her mother Irene, and a mysterious ancestor whose presence lingers beyond time. When a sudden accident cracks open long-buried memories and ancestral visions, Ana is pulled into the mysticism and pain of her lineage. On her deathbed, Irene reaches across the veil—offering the connection she never could in life and guiding Ana toward truth and transformation. As past and present collide, Ana finds the courage to confront generational silence and reclaim her voice for herself and her daughter.
