Ich seh Ich seh (Goodnight Mommy)
AT 2014
A remote cottage during the summer break: A Mother returns to her twin sons after cosmetic plastical surgery. But the children are doubting if the woman – bandaged beyond recognition and suddenly pretty strict – really is their mom. Trying to find out the truth, the situation escalates quickly... The astonishing debut feature by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz is developing from a naturalistic set-up a complex and disturbing thriller about the fight for love, trust and identity. Not only within its genre an exception in Austrian contemporary cinema.
The screening (100 min) in the german original version is followed by a discussion with directors Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz.
