There Are Many Doors In My Mother’s Home

There Are Too Many Doors In My Mother’s Home
dir. David Kind/Germany/2024/18 min.

Screenings of the film as part of the online edition of the 22nd FF Millennium Docs Against Gravity, which will take place from May 20 to June 2, 2025.

An unidentified protagonist looks at old photographs from the family album. Scenes on the beach, on vacation. Scenes with his siblings on the couch. Innocent poses, laughter. In contrast, the narrator describes memories of his and his siblings' emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his mother. Gradually, the social and personal dynamics behind the system of violence are revealed, and the suffering of the victims, who oscillate between pain, guilt and grief lasting into adulthood, is described.
