In La madre muerta (Juanma Bajo Ulloa, 1992) a criminal shoots and kills a painting restorer during a bungled burglary, and shoots her daughter as well, leaving her mute and with a mental age of a child. 20 years later, he meets his victim and thinking that she still might be able to recognise him, kidnaps her. Composer Bingen Mendizábal (Vitoria, 1962), signed an extensive score of great beauty in some passages and very distraught and devastated in others. The music joins the evolution of the protagonist in her ordeal with an affectionate treatment, but the composer also tends to highlight the drama of the different situations, with a neutral and aseptic position. The soundtrack is shaping up as the film progresses until it reaches its end, which provides the highest level of emotion. Enjoy it!
