What don't you understand?

begin image
create mask for mother's face
adjust exposure within mask
create new mask instance
use mask manager to clone first mask
invert selection of mask
adjust exposure within new mask

from google for darktable mask
 https://www.darktable.org/2013/04/masks/

Since these instances are published on darktable site, I assume they are
available in the latest published version, 1.6.x.  I use the git version.

ps: I am not actually doing this so more/different steps may be necessary.

And you can search google/youtube for videos of darktable, there are quite
a few.
