Mama Micra(2024)

Mama Micra Synopsis

The mother of animation director Rebecca Blöcher didn’t want to live an ordinary life. She wanted “something more,” she explains in this stop-motion film. The people around her didn’t understand—in a letter written in 1968, a girlfriend criticizes her for going out on her own and making men jealous, while advising her to dress in a more “feminine” way and to join a cooking course. Blöcher’s mother brushed aside the advice. Years later still, she divorced her husband and stepped into the big wide world.

Mama Micra (2024) is a documentary and animation film directed by Rebecca Blöcher, released on November 15, 2024 with a runtime of 24m.
