SASHINKA

Information on the activity

Dates to come

Sashinka, “little Sasha,” is a dedicated young musician. As she prepares for her first major recital, her eccentric and unpredictable mother re-enters her life like a tornado. Between clashes and attempts to reconcile, the two women need to figure out how to spend time together. The first feature by Kristina Wagenbauer exposes the most intense facets of a mother-daughter relationship on the edge, where mental health problems and genuine affection both come into play. The result is a sensitive film, at times funny, at others despairing. The characters’ many layers of emotion are rendered with aplomb by Carla Turcotte and Natalia Dontcheva, who share remarkable chemistry.
