Niki might be 35, but she lives as if she’s ten years younger—and that means engaging in continuous spats with her mother. Niki works as an elementary PE teacher and has quite the boisterous sex life (including an affair with her boss… and her masseuse). Her mother, Sofia, is soft-spoken and unable to sit still or look someone in the eye, so she obsessively cleans to avoid both. Stuck in an emotional deadlock, Niki and Sofia simply cannot communicate. Each privately seeks a stronger relationship with the other, but their inability to admit how they feel creates an endless cycle of misunderstanding. Closely guarded secrets ultimately will force Niki and Sofia to confront their emotions as well as each other. Humor and sensitivity go hand-in-hand as Niki navigates old relationships from a new perspective. Tackling a familiar struggle between parent and child with a poignant and playful script, this Swedish family dramedy will have you rushing out of the theater to CALL MOM! (In Swedish with subtitles) — D.O.
