Mothers and Daughters

Original title: Mütter und Töchter - Geliebte Feindinnen?

Directed by Irene Höfer

Relationships between mothers and daughters are often very complex. Love and protective instincts, recognition and pride play just as important a role as patronization and envy, dependency and jealousy. This documentary allows prominent mother-daughter pairs to have their say, being surprisingly open about birth and puberty, growing up, sexuality and old age.
