Or Sinai’s debut film “Mama,” showcased at the Cannes film festival, explores the hidden lives of migrant women, challenging stereotypes by portraying them as individuals with temporary identities rather than mere sacrifices for their families. The film follows a Ukrainian housekeeper who, after returning home from working in Israel, discovers her family dynamics have shifted dramatically, leaving her disconnected from her children. Amidst the backdrop of war in Ukraine and Gaza, Sinai emphasizes the importance of love over conflict and the need to separate the actions of the Israeli government from its people.
