Author: Chantel Akerman
In 2013, Chantal Akerman flew back from New York to Brussels to care for her dying mother. Between dressing her, feeding her and putting her to bed, she wrote. She wrote about her childhood, the escape her mother made from Auschwitz but didn't talk about, the difficulty of loving her girlfriend, her fear of what she would do when her mother did die. This title is both the distillation of the themes Akerman pursued throughout her creative life and a love story between mother and daughter.
