Summary:
"During
World
War
II, more than 70,000 Finnish children were evacuated to neutral
Sweden
to avoid the conflict. 'Mother of Mine,' the latest from the award-winning Klaus Haro ('Elina'), tackles that painful patch of history in a tale of 9-year-old Eero, a child who increasingly feels abandoned by his biological Finnish mother and yet not attached to his Swedish surrogate mom. When he is returned to Finland, his confusion intensifies."--Container.
"This month's short film: Uncle - dir. Adam Elliot: ; The biography of a humble man, his lemon tree, chihuaha and crumpets, retold and narrated by an anonymous nephew, who strings together a collection of his uncle's passion, failings and beliefs. Uncle has won awards at over a dozen film festivals, including the Aspen International Shortfest prize."--Container.
