A Mom for Julia

Мама для Юли
Director: Natalia Kadyrova
RU 201979' ru

Julia is seven years.old. She was born in prison and had a different mother at three different periods of time. All of these women attempt to mother her now. They want what’s best for the child, but their actions threaten the future of the girl.

The director Natalia Kadyrova met the film’s protagonist when she was shooting her previous film. It dealt with an experiment –  the children lived together with their sentenced parents in jail.

Curator's point of view: One daughter and three mothers – this is a plot from Indian cinema. And I think that Indian cinema will borrow it sooner or later.
