Director Statement

In a family, a parent often dominates even an adult child. My motivation was to understand what drives the parents in this dominance, what is the root cause, and is it possible to come to mutual understanding through this awareness.
The film “My mother is (not) the best” about breaking the psychological cord between the mother and daughter. It is important for parents to let their children go on, in spite of a strong love and desire to “laystraws”. Children get out of parental dependence in order to live their own lives. After that, the relations become equal.
