Fresh from its 2025 Cannes Film Festival premiere, director Or Sinai’s stunning debut feature showcases the remarkable talent of Evgenia Dodina, a celebrated Belarusian-Israeli actress, in a captivating lead performance. Inspired by Sinai’s real-life experience, MAMA is an intimate and powerful portrait of displacement, femininity, and the elusive meaning of home.

After many years working far from home, Mila is forced to temporarily leave her seaside mansion—and her secret romance—to return to her family in a remote Polish village. But the long-awaited reunion is far from what she imagined. As tensions surface, Mila struggles to repair what was lost, confronting the cost of her choices and the woman she has become.
