“Mother’s baby”, interview with actress Marie Leuenberger Chiara Nicoletti
“Mother’s baby” by Johanna Moder is in competition at the 75th Berlin International Film festival.
German-Swiss actress Marie Leuenberger plays Sofia, a successful conductor who, quoting Moder’s words “becomes a mother late in life and is suddenly thrown into all the prefabricated pigeonholes in which she doesn’t feel at home”.
As it is a story about the hidden side of motherhood, Moder decided to tell it through the form of a psychological thriller as to explore the multiple layers a situation like that can be experienced.
Marie Leuenberger describes her approach to this character and to this alienation she had to embody in the film.
Plot
40-year-old Julia, a successful conductor, and her partner Georg are longing for a child when Dr. Vilfort offers them hope. Julia becomes pregnant after successful treatment at the fertility doctor’s clinic.
The birth does not go as planned and the baby is immediately taken away, leaving Julia in the dark about what has happened. When finally reunited with the child, Julia feels strangely distant. She begins to doubt whether it is really her child.
