Oh, mother! a short animated film directed by Paulina Ziolkowska. Title on the striped background. Black and white.
Mother and son are changing places and roles constantly: once, the mother is an adult, sometimes son matures and takes care of suddenly childish mother. The arrangement works fine, until the boy decides to escape from under the skirt of the overprotective mother and start an independent life.
