Spanish director Eduardo Casanova on Sunday saw his 'La Pieta' drama about a toxic mother-son relationship take top prize at France's Gerardmer international horror and science fiction film festival.
The film, set in 2011, depicts the bond between the mother, Libertad, and her son Mateo as an analogy for the relationship between the people of North Korea and its government.
The odd couple's story is upended when Mateo is diagnosed with brain cancer.
'La Pieta' (piety) is 31-year-old Casanova's follow-up to his controversial 2017 noir offering 'Skins'.
