(Y)our mother 2024

[Visions du Réel '24] This family portrait, which fortunately moves away from the usual documentaries that use the description of personal issues to explain the collective and political events, somehow becomes an attempt to use the cinematographic tool to find answers and reconcile personal approaches. It is an exciting journey about the disaffection between a mother and her daughters, but it is also a moving story about the recovery of the maternal bond, the moment when a daughter stops using the second person to refer to her. Narrated from a family meeting in which the mother seems frustrated for not having managed to ensure that her daughters lead a complete religious life, the film conveys the lack of intergenerational communication that underlines this complicated mother-child relationship.
