Mami

“Mami” is the second film in Alecio Araci’s trilogy about sorrow, forgiveness, oppression, coping and traditions and is told from the point of view of an elderly matriarch. Her grandchildren call her Mami, the grandmother. Despite her very old age, she still works and provides her children and grandchildren with necessities and gifts. But something is not right with one of her grandchildren, Milaj, who no longer comes to visit her. No one wants to say why he distanced himself and Mami feels left out as she tries to find out what's wrong. Days pass and everyday life continues, but one evening she receives a phone call that changes everything. A film that portrays what it can be like to be a minority within a minority.
