Margherita, a director in the middle of an existential crisis, has to deal with the inevitable and still unacceptable loss of her mother.

Mia Madre is Nanni Moretti’s autobiographically inspired film about a director shooting a film while her mother is dying in the hospital and shows the Italian filmmaker in a serious, subdued mood, but is enlivened by the absurd comic clash between protagonist Margherita Buy and her lead actor John Turturro.
