Eva is being allowed to leave the psychiatric institution she’s lived in for six years. It’s the first step to reach the normal life she’s been longing for, but what does “normal” mean? Eva has a dream: to reconnect with her son and ask for forgiveness after fifteen years of silence. The First Woman is a film about second chances, the search for “normality” and the bumpy borderline between lucidity and darkness.
