The Mother and the Whore

A melancholic, intellectually probing study of desire and emotional entanglement in a love triangle that privileges psychological complexity over resolution.

Aimless young Alexandre juggles his relationships with his girlfriend, Marie, and a casual lover named Veronika. Marie becomes increasingly jealous of Alexandre's fling with Veronika and as the trio continues their unsustainable affair, the emotional stakes get higher, leading to conflict and unhappiness.
