Mothers and fathers

In the past, everything seemed so simple: fathers and mothers had clearly defined roles within the parental couple, with distinct roles for men and women. The law determined each person's role; both were role models, authoritative and/or affectionate, for their children, to whom they passed on their own values. On a religious and moral level, everything was said, in any case, with the fourth commandment: "Honor your father and your mother." But over the years and decades, modern societies have evolved, and with them, family models. Once firmly entrenched values ​​have crumbled, authorities have disappeared, and questions about the meaning and purpose of traditional roles for mothers and fathers have become increasingly urgent. The films in our collection explore intimate, social, and societal aspects of parenthood; cinema has so much to tell!
