Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Madre is a 2018 short film (19 minutes) from Spain, directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen.Marta is a young mother who, as the film opens is at home with her own mother. Dialogue indicates that she is a divorcee and that her six-year-old son Ivan is on vacation with his father in France. While she's getting ready to go out she gets a phone call from Ivan. Events rapidly go from mundane to terrifying when Marta learns that Ivan is on the beach all alone. It seems that his father went off to their RV for Ivan's toy and hasn't come back, and Ivan has been left abandoned. Things get scarier still when Ivan, who doesn't know which beach in France they're on, sees a strange man.

Missing Child: Namely, a phone call from a missing child, as a young mother gets a phone call from her little boy who is lost and alone on a beach, and who is approached by a stranger.

Book Ends: Identical lonely shots of an empty, windswept beach at the beginning and end of the film.

The Operators Must Be Crazy
 Madre / int_d4f3a682

The Operators Must Be Crazy: Marta talks to a 911 operator who seems supremely uninterested in the plight of a 6-year-old lost and alone on the beach, and who can't suggest anything to do other than Marta coming to the station and filing a police report.

The Oner: There's a cut in the beginning as the film goes from an intro of a lonely beach to Marta's apartment. There's a cut near the end to Marta's mother as Marta leaves the apartment, then a final cut to that same shot of a lonely beach. That's all the cuts there are. The rest of the movie, nearly all of its run time, follows Marta without a cut as she paces back and forth growing progressively more frantic while talking to her son.
