MATER is a story of Jasna, a Croatian ex-pat who, due to her mother Anka's declining health, is forced to return to a place she has been avoiding most of her life - her home.

In this uncompromising psychological drama, Jasna leaves her children and husband and returns to her childhood home, in order to take care for her dying mother. However, her patience and kindness are not necessarily reciprocated, as Jasna is forced to confront the complex and fractured dynamic between parent and child.—Jure Pavlovic
