MADRE® - It's Never Too Late for a Happy Childhood

German world premiere, translated from the Spanish by Birgit Kirberg. Performing rights represented by Marta Fluvià Agency.

Anna is a successful advertising manager who knows exactly how to craft images of a happy life. A harmonious family is part of the picture - one she herself never had. Then she stumbles across an ad: "I could be the mother you always dreamed of." Not a bad idea, she thinks - after all, she can afford it. She has very precise ideas about how this new arrangement will work. And then everything turns out completely differently than planned.

MADRE® examines how people set out to find a family beyond blood ties. Your real family is the one you choose - your chosen family! At the same time, it's a piece about the unexpected effects of capitalist logic, the business of love, and the invention of new formulas for personal relationships.
