LOOKING LIKE MY MOTHER
Dominique Margot
Looking like my Mother follows the filmmaker Dominique Margot’s journey as the daughter of a Mother who suffered from depression and confronts her fear of inheriting the disease. The film describes her helplessness as a child, her anger as a teenager and her eventual understanding of the courage it took for her mother to even carry on breathing. The film traces the individual experience, sharing the emptiness and the eventual discovery of a sense of meaning in life. It is a playful film about complex family relationships and the unexpected reconciliation that occurs when her mother dies.
