Overview

Illusion
Ilusion is a film about the strength of the human spirit, about finding reconciliation and harmony in spite of tragic circumstances. Many months after her disappearance, the mother of a missing daughter begins her own increasingly irrational investigation. Sometimes she plays with reality, other times she undermines it. These experiences eventually lead her to a clarity of perception that crosses the boundaries of the miraculous.
