Killing Mom

The film is an ambivalent attempt to shoot a feature film with amateurs. A girl escapes from her conservative home, where a neurotic mother terrorizes the whole family. When her mother has to go to hospital, the girl shares flats with lesbians and heterosexuals. Her mother comes home, but the girl is still enjoying her wild lifestyle. The girl is telling her own story. But unfortunately, her crazy mother is killing her just before she reaches the happy-end. The audience is left with an ambivalent feeling. Not all amateurs are good actors, but it is easy to find out, which actors are: the parents (director Lothar Lambert and Dorothea Moritz) and the daughter. The minor parts, on the other side, spoil the fun sometimes.
