Too many snow days = DVD time!

The Whore's Son - "Hurensuhn" - is a very poignant movie about the relationship between a mother and son. The mother is a prostitute and the son learning disabled. The mother, her sister, and Uncle, are Croatian immigrants to Germany; refugees from the Yugoslavian War. The crux of the story is the conflict between the son and the mother and the son's desire to know his mother's love.

A well acted ensemble piece in German and Croatian with English subtitles. I think you will find it compelling and sad. I did.
