A question as seemingly benign as “You’re Laura’s mother, right?” becomes the moment when Cielo’s life changes forever. The query, posed by a toothy-smiled young man, is born not out of curiosity but out of a need to make sure he’s found the right woman to extort. Even as he grins, there’s a sinister edge to his nonchalance when addressing Cielo, who slowly starts piecing together what’s afoot.
Moreover, the film’s genre trappings don’t use Mexico’s socio-historical milieu as mere backdrop, the way narratives like these so often do. Cielo’s predicament, which has her come up against an indifferent police force, a brutal armed militia and a scared populace who’d rather not antagonize those armed young men and women who rule the streets with guns and litter its land with unmarked mass graves, becomes a grounded modern fable about a country in crisis, about a people left behind.
Cielo isn’t the only person being extorted nor is she the first mother forced to live with the tragedy of not knowing what happened to her own child. But hers is an unwinnable situation, even when she ends up connecting with a ruthless army lieutenant whose violent means at first terrify and later embolden Cielo to reach her required end., who was born in Romania and is now based in Ghent, Belgium, initially conceived “La Civil” as a documentary.
