A spontaneously bizarre road trip to CAMELIA's old homeland, Romania, puts a mother-daughter relationship to the test. Camelia is a millennial mom whose life revolves around ALINA, her 15-year-old daughter. Due to the physical distance from family structures, a peculiarly intimate and emotionally codependent relationship dynamic has developed, from which Alina increasingly tries to break away. The intimate relationship with my own mother, who also gave birth to me as a teenager and who remained a single parent, serves as a guide and inspiration. Our migration from Romania to Austria in the early 2000s irrevocably turned the already rather unorthodox relationship on its head. In completely foreign surroundings, we were on our own for the first time. This led to a role reversal. Dealing with relocation and finding our place in the newly adopted country was further complicated by the usual age-related identity issues. The electricity of this almost sisterly tension inspires unconventional questions about motherhood. The idiosyncratic mother-daughter relationship enables me to see the topic of migration from two perspectives simultaneously: that of the assimilated foreigner and that of the culturally homeless migrant child. It is a great privilege to live in a time when the female perspective is moving to the centre of social and cultural interests. In deep gratitude to all those who have paved the way for us, I consider it my personal duty to contribute to the female gaze in European cinema. As a diaspora hybrid myself, it is essential to me to represent the culturally homeless and to bring their stories to the silver screen.
