“Your film will not have a happy ending. Because my life doesn’t have one. Although there’s no sad ending either.”


The video documentary focuses on a complicated mother-daughter relationship. I left microphones on for five days, and they recorded different layers of the relationship: the shame caused by alcoholism and being taken into custody, the resentment and longing. The starting point was the desire to understand addiction, but ultimately, it is about difficult love.
