On Thursday, 23 May 2024, MOTHERLAND (57th Hof International Film Festival 2023) opens in cinemas. Miriam Pucitta's documentary will then be released throughout Germany.
The director grew up as the child of Italian migrant workers in Switzerland in the 1960s and 1970s. She herself has only fragmentary memories of this time; her mother and other relatives avoid Miriam's questions. Together with her daughter Giulia, she researches her family's living conditions in Switzerland and finds a new understanding of her parents' difficult decisions.
Miriam Pucitta opens her family album, the album of a travel that never ends. Extremely strong!
