THE UNFIXING is a poetic exploration of a mother’s journey from illness to healing, framed by the intensifying global climate crisis. The film presents a richly textured visual diary, capturing the intimate moments of Betancourt’s personal struggles with a debilitating illness and the ripple effects on her family, all while engaging with larger ecological questions. As her body begins to break down, so too does the planet – both requiring a radical transformation and renewal.

"A profoundly human and visually poetic work, where the camera becomes a witness to a journey of transformation: from disease to healing, from climate despair to a sense of belonging."

"Wholly original cinema that people hope to see at a film festival....The clever structure (in yearly segments tied to climate change) and repeated motifs (of photography, the beach and grief) make this an art film inside a memoir."

“The Unfixing is an absolutely remarkable film and it is so artistically told. This is ultimately a film that is so full of hope”
