Director's Statement
The film narrates the story of three generations of women. Despite living together and in close proximity, their worlds have grown so apart that they struggle to understand one another. Although the film Marghe and Her Mother is made in Italy, but the same story can happen every day throughout Europe or even in any country on the entire planet earth. Modern life, besides all its possibilities and numerous choices it has offered to the mankind, seems to have jeopardise some of their basic needs. Having a secure and stable job, a trusting friendship, a true love or sometimes even their basic human dignity -- Mohsen Makhmalbaf
