    the mother

    Beautiful sounds the fair term to define this short film. But, more important, the inspired performance of Jo Martin and the details from apartment are the main virtues of it.

    A young woman visits her mother. The door enter and the papers behind it, the behavior of mom, the stories and memories and the identity assumed by her, Marvel - like more are sources of not comfortable state for young woman. And the yellow costume is just a serious problem for Athena , like the eviction paper.

    But the things are, in same measure, more complicated and more simple.

    I love this short film as profound inspired portrait of motherhood and for admirable performance of Jo Martin.
