In a small village in Thailand, Pomm, separated from her children, takes care of Europeans with Alzheimer’s. She helps Elisabeth during the final stages of her life, as a new patient Maya arrives from Switzerland. Mother is a character-driven documentary that allows us to explore the struggles of motherhood and the frustrations of being unable to care for our loved ones. It is the powerful connection between patients and caregivers that will challenge our preconceptions. Both Pomm and her patients are trying to recover the pieces of their lives that are gone, but through love and kindness they will learn to care for each other.
All screenings preceded by a recorded introduction from director Kristof Bilsen.
