Palme d’Or winning director Nanni Moretti (The Son’s Room, The Caiman, We Have a Pope) returns with Mia Madre, a playful, reflective and intelligent drama.

Set in present-day Rome, the story follows Margherita (Margherita Buy – His Secret Life), a filmmaker attempting to balance her work with her family life.
