SYNOPSIS
The film depicts thoughts and feelings of a mother with her so-called mentally disabled son. While she moves with him through everyday life, her ambivalent feelings, her struggles to accept him as he is, get into her way. The story is told as an associative montage of scenes, following feelings and experiences of the mother, as we listen to her inner monologue.
Awards: Filmfest Dresden 2019: Grand Prix National Animation & Youth Jury’s Special Mention.
