Maman
Synopsis:
Everybody wants to hear a story, don’t they? She could tell you - Hi, this is a love story, it has a beginning, a middle and an end. As she tries to remember - the story materialises in front of us.
Meet the Bardo family ruled by Jane, the matriarch. Every year on the first of April, her and her three daughters Charlotte, Abigail and Sophie meet for Sophie’s husband’s birthday - except this time will be a bit different, as he committed suicide a year ago.
Three Acts unfold - and unfortunately, nothing goes as planned.
