JACKIE THE WOLF
France, Germany 2023 – Director: Tuki Jencquel – Original language: English, French, German – Subtitles: English, German – Length: 93 min.
A mulberry tree in the courtyard covered in green leaves. Growing old. The body deteriorates. No more sex. What is the point of a life like this if there is no purpose and no joy? For three years, a son follows his mother with his camera after she openly declares she wants to die. An open dialogue between a parent and child, lamentations about a life not properly lived. A touching sketch of a family. Elena Álvarez Lutz
