Motherhood becomes a prison for The Miserable Mother, stuck at home with her boyfriend Peter Pan and their newborn. Within her own four walls, the boundaries blur between inside and outside, society and subject, body and discourse. A musical film.
THE MISERABLE MOTHER is writer-director Susanne Heinrich’s second feature film after her debut AREN’T YOU HAPPY? (DAS MELANCHOLISCHE MÄDCHEN) premiered at the 2019 Max Ophüls Preis Film Festival where it won the prize for Best Film.
