    • The same maternal bond that binds four generations of women carries on the trauma of the war, but gives the weapons to heal it in the end.

      A MÍ means "for me", but also "to me." "I have fled my whole life," says the director, granddaughter and daughter of survivors of the Holocaust. Now she herself is a mother and tries to unravel the confusions of the four generations of mothers and daughters, in order to finally find for herself "to herself". A MÍ tells how the stresses of trauma and flight carried by many people are transmitted at the most intimate level, and shows a path out of this inheritance.



      Director's Statement :

      "I am convinced, that the film can show a way to face the silence, recognize what impact trauma can have on a family, and trust that this is no damnation. I want to show the relief when this weight is not passed on. I want this film to make a difference for mothers, daughters, traumatized people and their successors. And I think that my personal-personal style can allow the audience an intimacy with the story, and gives a chance to experience this cathartic path.“
