It’s a scorching day in a deserted Rome: mother and daughter are walking non-stop, dragging a large suitcase. The couple seem to seek one another, fleeing from each other, inverting their natural roles in continuation. Until, with just one gesture, they reveal the unexpected epiphany of their love. And so begins a new chapter for actress Jasmine Trinca as a director.
“Being My Mom is a metaphorical walk in the existence of two women, a mother and her daughter, two protagonists of nothing but their lives. We are watching them by chance; two creatures taking part in existence, inessential for the world but essential for one another. It is a study of the bright and obscure paths of maternity and progeny,” explained Trinca.
The film, which stars Alba Rohrwacher and Maayane Conti, boasts an all-female cast and crew, and has already made the line-up of two film festivals- Giovanna Taviani's Salina DocFest and Australia's nationwide Italian Film Festival. We'll keep you updated on future virtual screenings. In the meantime, click here to read my interview with Trinca.
