Republic of Macedonia | 2010 | 123min | 35mm | Colour
Two nine-year-old girls report a flasher to the police even though they never saw him. Three filmmakers meet the only residents of a deserted village – an elderly brother and sister who have not spoken to each other in 16 years. Retired cleaning women are found raped and strangled in a small town. The fiction slowly turns into a documentary.
The three stories in Mothers highlight the delicate relationships of truth and fiction, of drama and documentary. Directed with a keen eye for contemporary Macedonia, the film eschews neat narrative devices and pushes the viewer to confront their own definitions of filmic reality.
Producers Christina Kallas, Thierry Lenouvel, Methodius Petrikov
