A satellite for the mother of mine
2005.12.18
The tenth annual SATELLITE Awards were held saturday in Los Angeles by the International Press Academy. The finnish-swedish film “Mother of mine” received one as the best foreign film.
Mother of mine (orig. “Äideistä parhain”) is written by Heikki Hietamies and directed by Klaus Härö. The film is about a 9-year-old child from the world war II, who increasingly feels abandoned by his biological Finnish mother and yet not attached to his Swedish surrogate mom. When he is returned to Finland, his confusion intensifies.
I haven’t seen it myself, but I’m pretty sure it’s worth checking out! :-)
