This Is My Mother

Tackling bi-polar disorder with heart and humour, this tender autobiographical drama is a tragicomic delight

Pierre, a successful 33-year-old florist, sees his life upended when his flamboyant and unpredictable mother, Judith, suddenly reappears after a two-year absence. Suffering from bi-polar disorder, Judith brings a whirlwind of anxiety, guilt, and painful memories. Their reunion, both unexpected and explosive, sets in motion a chain of events that will change their lives forever. 

Bolstered by a pair of wonderful performances, this autobiographical feature debut handles this delicate subject with sensitivity and humour, avoiding melodrama while exploring the complexities of family dynamics.
