Mother's Baby

Feature Film, AT/CH/DE 2025, DCP, 108 min, OmeU + AD

Thanks to modern reproductive medicine, Julia’s and Georg’s wish for a child has finally been fulfilled. But rather than maternal bliss, suspicion prevails. Why is Julia’s baby so strangely quiet? It is even hers? In her surroundings, Julia’s worries fall on deaf ears and increasingly concerned glances, and soon there are even doubts about her sanity. Johanna Moder blends psychodrama and paranoid thriller elements to a gripping, unconventional film about motherhood.
