Mothers Daughters Liars

There is a Spanish saying: 'Las penas y las olas nunca llegan solas' - Sorrows and waves never arrive alone. Mothers Daughters Liars is a story of transgenerational trauma. Will Tia suffer the same misfortunes as the women that came before her, or will she break the family spell?

An epidemic of cholera changes Tia’s life forever. Her father descends into alcoholism and her mother is on the brink of madness. Desperate to escape their domestic strife, Tia leaves her parental home in the west and travels east to a town near Gibraltar. But she is naïve and unprepared for the wickedness that surrounds her. When a savage fire devastates the community, she finds herself at the centre of spiteful lies and malicious gossip. An ex-priest, a pistol-loving industrialist and a weak, but wealthy charlatan all seek Tia’s downfall, and the only way to prevent her from ruin is if Mariangeles regains her senses and comes to save her.

Trigger warning: Mothers Daughters Liars contains some sexual violence.
