Mother and Daughter have always been fighting. In William Wyler’s THE BIG COUNTRY (1958) the actors Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston are fighting in the middle of a vast landscape the whole night long until the next day – this was the way to solve their problems. This physical last battle was the inspiration for a family home movie.
Maite Abella lives and works as an artist in Amsterdam. O QUAM TRISTIS premiered at Forum Expanded 2010.
