VIFF 2016: Mother

(Estonia)

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      A parade of townspeople come to spend time with Lauri, who’s in a coma after being shot.

      One by one, they turn his room into a confession box, spilling clues as to what happened (as well as secrets about their personal lives) while a police officer tries to figure out whodunit. When it’s revealed that Lauri withdrew a huge amount of money prior to the crime, a mad but secretive scramble ensues to find where he stashed it. The actions of his circle of family and friends slowly reveal their hidden selves, particularly in the case of Lauri’s mother. A lightly engaging dark comedy that sustains interest through its careful pacing and curious characters.
