I Look Like My Mother

English. Directed by Amina Maher.

I Look Like My Mother follows Amina Maher’s courageous journey to free herself from the constraints of norms, taboos and traditions. Her coming-out as a trans woman is her rebellious stand against rape culture and patriarchy, and her strong support for a future beyond cis-normativity. Ten by Kiarostami recorded ten-year-old Amina sitting in the passenger seat of her mother’s car without her consent. Now, she has taken the wheel, driving her actress mother, Mania Akbari, through Berlin – in a new body and with a new name, Amina. On her journey, Amina navigates through highs and lows with humour and energy, looking to transform the overshadowing past in playful dream sequences and in honest discussions with her queer community. With sheer endless creative energy, she transforms her present and past experiences into beautiful elegies of a struggle for her own truth – in her own terms. There is nothing to stop Amina from putting her foot down on the accelerator now.
