The Mother by Paolo Fallai Freely adapted from The Misunderstanding by Albert Camus The Misunderstanding by Albert Camus is the story of two murderers: mother and daughter. In a cold and lost region of a hopeless Europe, they are prisoners of their own guesthouse and feed their dreams by killing and robbing travelers stopping at their inn. The tragedy becomes epic when after the killing of their last victim (a man) they discover his real identity. He is the son of one and the brother of the other, who came back in disguise to visit his relatives and to find back his roots after twenty years. The script written by Paolo Fallai brings the story up to date focuses not so much on the plot itself as the cynicism in which it is dipped.
