Gina
Sensitive and well observed drama offers a child’s eye view of life with a pregnant and single mum of three who is struggling with addiction while trying to make ends meet.
Ulrike Kofler offers a child’s eye view of the world in her sensitive and well observed family drama. Little Gina (Emma Lotta Simmer, making a magnetic debut) is only nine but has been forced to grow up fast because of the chaotic attitude of her alcoholic mother (Marie-Luise Stockinger). Gina takes care of her two siblings as she tries to navigate the unpredictability of a home that often has no food on the table. Kofler gives a clear-sighted view of the impact of a dysfunctional lifestyle that has been passed down from mother to daughter while also suggesting change is possible.
