Vienna Shorts: Mother, Mother

The four short films from the program Mother, Mother subvert the myths of motherhood, at a time when many seek to rob it of autonomy. Unease pervades the screen as we watch an immaculate conception. It quickly turns to the rushed breathlessness of an understaffed and under-resourced delivery room. We jump into a musical to deal with the heaviness of a daughter's guilt and the vulnerability of a mother's frailty. But then, finally, ease and contentment with just being. (dm)
