In The Parades, the mother, played by Zoe Saldana, embarks on a desperate search for her missing son in the aftermath of a massive earthquake that has torn their community apart. As she navigates the chaos and devastation, she gradually comes to the realization that she herself has died in the disaster and is now trapped in a limbo-like realm populated by restless spirits.
Determined to find her son and ensure his safety, the mother must confront her own fears and regrets as she delves deeper into the mysterious spirit world. Along the way, she encounters other spirits who offer both help and hindrance, including a wise old guardian spirit (played by Anthony Hopkins) who guides her on her journey.
As she unravels the truth behind her own death and the nature of the realm she now inhabits, the mother is forced to confront difficult truths about herself and the choices she made in life. Ultimately, she must make a decision that will not only determine the fate of her missing son but also her own eternal soul.
The Parades is a haunting and emotional tale of love, loss, and redemption that explores the power of parental love and the enduring bond between a mother and her child, even in the face of death.
