"Painting is a ritual to confront the past and heal what is broken," Mabel Valdiviezo says, emphasizing the therapeutic power of art in navigating personal trauma.
Throughout her documentary, Valdiviezo uses art as a consistent anchor to express her feelings about politics, patriarchy, and familial relationships amid her tumultuous upbringing.
While 'Prodigal Daughter' touches on Peru's political history, Valdiviezo focuses more on her personal journey and artistic evolution, revealing a broader narrative of healing through creativity.
The film concludes with Valdiviezo and her mother drawing closer through art, highlighting how different styles can still connect family members across generations.
