Synopsis

In Her Mother's Image is the story of a mother and daughter, Consuelo and Chiquita, who are entangled in a web of longing and antipathy set amidst the chaos of World War II in the Philippines and thirty years later in 1971. The war is seen through the eyes of a headstrong eight-year-old child, Chiquita, who bears witness to an act of betrayal committed by her formidable mother, Consuelo. A betrayal that will be revisited thirty years later when Chiquita goes back to the land of her birth to face the source of her lifelong torment - her own mother.
