Madonnas
Directed by Maria Speth
Produced by Les Films du Fleuve, Schweizer Fernsehen
A raw, intimate examination of intergenerational trauma and maternal role-reversal that grapples with cycles of abandonment, empowerment, and the struggle to break free from inherited pain.
A portrait of Rita, who claims that her mother was never a mother for her. Rita gives birth to her own five children and forces her mother to take the role of a mother.
