Une mère

One Mother

Als Mickaël Bandela gerade einmal ein halbes Jahr alt war, gab ihn seine Mutter Gisèle in Pflege. Wohlbehütet wuchs Mickaël die nächsten zwei Jahrzehnte bei Marie-Thérèse auf. Der Kontakt zu Gisèle blieb zwar aufrecht, die Verbindung war aber lose. Als Mickaël mit Mitte dreißig seine leibliche Mutter wieder mehr in sein Familienleben einbinden möchte, muss er erfahren, dass Gisèle sich dafür entschieden hat, Frankreich zu verlassen und in ihre ursprüngliche kongolesische Heimat zurückzukehren. Bandela begibt sich auf eine höchst persönliche Spurensuche nach seinen Familiengeschichten samt ihren Bruchlinien. (Jörg Schiffauer)

When director Mickaël Bandela was six months old, his biological mother Gisèle, who lived in France, handed him over to his foster mother Marie-Thérèse, who cared for him for almost twenty years. Though he stayed in touch with Gisèle, visits were always irregular. Now Mickaël is 35 and about to found his own family. It could be the perfect moment to include Gisèle into his life as a grandmother. But she decides to return to her old Congolese home. Mickaël tries to understand – the woman who gave birth to him, the woman he grew up with and himself. His autobiographical film turns into a fragmented search for the traces of memories of his own becoming. (Borjana Gaković, DOK Leipzig)
