GCIFF presents This Is My Mother
Gold Coast Int'l Film Festival continues with This Is My Mother. An ode to the complexity, particularity, and beauty of the love between mother and child.
Pierre, a 33-year-old florist, has his life on track. He has a successful business and a budding love interest. This pleasant routine is disrupted when his mother, Judith, surprises him by cropping up after years of no contact. Judith, who is in residential treatment for bipolar disorder, has escaped from her clinic, bringing along some baggage: a stormy combination of exhilaration, excess, and chaos.
As Pierre tries to swiftly steer her back to the clinic so he can return to his distinctly different status quo, they take a meandering route. Along the way, they unearth a painful history, clash over life philosophies, and ultimately their surprise reunion brings them closer. Changed by the journey, Pierre finds the understanding and space to reintegrate his mother into his life. And his new lover supports it.
French with English subtitles.
