Songs For My Mother

Synopsis

A story inspired by a set of wardrobe photographs Kubrick took for a movie he never made creates the backdrop for a relationship between two women to develop and be explored. Kristina is an actress. Esma is the costume designer. Kristina and Esma have a lot in common first and second-generation refugees from war torn areas of Europe. As we delve into their pasts, through a series of flashbacks, we unravel the hardship they have been through, the difficulty they have in connecting with their current environments and the similarities between them.
