Bad Mother is a plant (known in English as the spider plant) that throws out its children, but it’s also a filmmaker who finds her voice despite fumbling. With her camera, Pili tries to understand if she is an imposter: a filmmaker who doesn’t know how to film, a B grade mother. This is a film about learning to be a mother, made by an aspiring filmmaker who discovers the attraction of looking through the lens with new eyes.
