Mama Dream of Family
Macau / 2023 / 110 min
In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles
Macao International Documentary Film Festival

Being a mother makes one stronger than they could ever be. To fight for a living, Lau, Mei, and Jane illegally landed in Macau from Mainland China in the 1970s and 80s, at the cost of being separated from their families. Now in their elderlies, they once again fight for their families, to protest for the reunion with their children in Macau. This documentary follows the three old ladies as they unregrettably bet on the remainder of their lifetime, to rebuild what they have lost for the past 30 years—a home.
