Psychosis in Stockholm

Hypnotherapist Kate lives with her husband, Orla, and their daughter, Athena, while simultaneously maintaining a deeply romantic - and highly secret - relationship with Andreas. As a role model to her daughter, she struggles to navigate her existential quest - a journey filled with body fluids, intimacy, Greek mythology, laughter, madness, and clumsiness. We follow Kate through darkness and sunshine in this erotic, existential modern love story, as she battles society’s norms and dares to redefine the rules of love.

Death, the passage of time and eternity. Big topics, but seen from a new and original perspective in a film based on a simple idea: that one's sense of time ceases to function when one dies, and that one for a short – or in fact very long – moment has the chance to experience eternity. And to therefore live in a single memory forever. Which one would you choose? 'I Remember When I Die' takes place at life's last destination, a hospice, but is a poetic and vital journey into the borderland of consciousness, and right into a possible afterlife.

"Mother is God is a fragmented and personal film on different visions of reality. The film is built on conversations between me (the director) and God (my psychotic mum), whose face we never see in the film. We talk about her worlds; We encounter her flower language, we meet the devil’s birds and we learn how to marry the wind. The film turns into a declaration of love - to the crooked mind as well as to my mother." - Maria Bäck
