MOM'S POTATOES

Robin and Felix suffer under the mental illness of their mother, who is barely able to cope with everyday life and mostly just lies in bed. Robin sees it as his duty to take care of his younger brother and their mother. When Felix becomes the target of bullying, the brothers pull a naïve prank to exact revenge. But what seems harmless as first soon spirals into a conflict that pushes Robin to the breaking point.



  • Duration: 26 min.
