“A refined documentary pearl, woven out of the finest strands that connect our inner worlds with the hidden, deepest worlds of others.” (Magnificent 7 Festival)

Sylvain Biegeleisen’s enchanting, affecting portrait of his 95-year-old bedridden mother—who laughs, smokes, sings, and drinks (just a little)—won Best Documentary at last year’s DocAviv and almost every other festival where it’s been screened. Biegeleisen spends many intimate hours by his mother’s side discussing her past, what they’ll eat for dinner, and the film business—or more specifically, how much he might be able to make from this film about her! As his mother slides between complete lucidity and moments of confusion, she constantly reminds him that she’s a fighter and that “there is always something worth holding on to.” It is a privilege to see this extraordinary love letter to a beloved parent.
