The Eyes of My Mother

Francisca and her parents establish their life on a farm, raising various livestock. This setting provides a backdrop for both their idyllic life and the horrific events that unfold later.

Francisca's mother, a talented surgeon, imparts her medical knowledge to her daughter. She teaches Francisca the grim skill of removing the eyeballs from animals while sharing the story of St. Francis of Assisi.

A door-to-door salesman named Charlie arrives at their home, asking to use the restroom. Francisca's mother, against her daughter's instincts, permits him to enter, setting off a chain reaction of horror.

Charlie's true intentions are revealed when he forcibly drags Francisca's mother into the bathroom at gunpoint. When her father arrives, he finds the gruesome scene, leading to a violent confrontation.

In the aftermath of the attack, Francisca's family is left devastated. They hold a somber funeral in the backyard for Francisca's mother, struggling to cope with their loss.

Visiting the imprisoned Charlie in the barn, Francisca becomes enthralled by his stories of killing. In a shocking twist, she extracts his eyes and vocal cords, keeping them as trophies.

After her father's death, Francisca decides to preserve his body, demonstrating her twisted desire to maintain control. This act further solidifies her dark descent into madness.

Francisca encounters Kimiko at a bar, and their connection deepens. However, Kimiko is soon unsettled by Francisca's unsettling confession about her father's death, leading to a chilling revelation.

Attempting to flee from Francisca's disturbing nature, Kimiko meets a tragic fate. Francisca brutally murders her, dismembers her body, and hides her organs in the refrigerator.

Despite his shackled condition, Francisca continues to nurture her bond with Charlie. After bathing him, she feels a sense of intimacy, but this quickly turns violent when Charlie tries to escape.

Francisca encounters Lucy and her baby, Antonio, and seizes the opportunity to kidnap the child. In a brutal act, she stabs Lucy, exhibiting her motherly instincts warped by madness.

As Antonio grows older, he becomes curious about the forbidden barn. One night, he stumbles upon a horrifying sight—his biological mother, Lucy, bound and suffering, which changes his understanding of family.

Lucy manages to escape her confines, blindly wandering until a truck driver rescues her. However, her freedom is short-lived as Francisca quickly learns of her escape and reacts violently.

As the police arrive at the farmhouse, Francisca panics and wakes Antonio. She holds him at knifepoint in the bathroom, fearful that the authorities will take him away, reflecting her mental instability.

In a climax filled with tension, a gunshot rings out as the fate of Francisca and Antonio hangs in the balance. The film concludes ambiguously, leaving viewers questioning what transpired.
