Talea

2013 · 75 min

A quiet, observant study of a fragile mother-daughter bond, filled with small hopes and painful misunderstandings.

Directed by: Katharina Mückstein
Genres: Drama
Starring: Sophie Stockinger, Nina Proll, Philipp Hochmair

Overview: Fourteen-year-old Jasmin longs to be near her biological mother, Eva. Following her mother’s release from prison, an excursion into the country together becomes a first test for the fledgling mother-daughter relationship. They smoke, dance and stroll together – the mood is promising. But time and again, it is revealed that their needs and expectations are light years apart. For the moment, neither Eva nor Jasmin seem up to the task of fulfilling each other’s need for identity and support. (Talea is Italian for scion, a detached shoot or twig containing buds from a woody plant, used in grafting.)
