“Marcos Code” is a moving documentary film that, through ten years of family footage, follows the life of Liena, an immigrant mother facing the challenge of raising her two sons in Spain. She loves, works, argues and plays, looking for guidance through the lens of her tireless camera, which never cuts nor switches off. Within the intimate setting of their home, the spectator is given the privilege of witnessing how Pablo and Marcos are raised. The oldest is a brilliant and sensitive young man, the youngest is perceived as unpredictable and requires special care. With humour and authenticity, Liena transforms a stigmatized motherhood into a meaningful life experience.
