WAITING FOR MOM

Nana Ekvtimishwili

Georgia, 2011, 9 Min

Asking mother. A middle-aged man wants to drive to work. He is standing in front of his car, but cannot find the keys for his car. Obviously too lazy to walk back up to the apartment, he calls out to his mother. Will she help him?

The situation couldn't be any more absurd. For what seema an eternity, he screams out to her in a shrill voice. The annoyed neighbours watch the scene with bored faces. When the elderly woman finally answers, she gets precise instructions of all the places where she should look for the key. But, suddenly, it is quiet and everyone looks up.

A small self-reflection, staged with simple means, about the relationship and social interaction between mother and son in Georgia. MM
