WILD MINT

DOCUMENTARY | BIO PIC | HISTORY | CINEMA | 2009

A documentary by Jenny Gand & Lisa Rettl

"Wild Mint" ("Wilde Minze") tells the story of a mother-daughter relationship beyond death. It’s the story of strong, courageous, striving women. It's a film on the violent loss of beloved persons, on traumatic experiences as well as on thirst for life and personal strength – above all how to come to terms with the past. Quietly the film follows the flow of remembrance and everyday life of the 80-year-old female protagonist, who surprises with her zest for life, vitality and humour.

The the official website of "Wild Mint" is in Englisch and German.
