Mama Illegal

Filmplakat für "Mama Illegal" mit einem jungen Mädchen und einer erwachsenen Frau, die sich umarmen und lächeln, darunter ein Kind, das auf einer Wiese kniet, mit Auszeichnungen und Texten zu Filmvorführungen und Preisen im oberen Bereich.

They gave the smugglers all their money and risk their life on their journey across borders: three women from a small town in Moldavia, living now in Austria as cleaning women. On top of their hard jobs they live a life in illegality without documents, far away from their children and family for years. A film about the price of the dream of a better life.
