In Me and My Mum, a mother and daughter drive together to a place that is some way significant for their common history. A car was chosen as the filming location because it enables intimate conversation. In each part the driving couple talk about being a mother/daughter, is there a right kind of motherhood/childhood. What has joined them together, and on the other hand, what has taken them in different directions? How the relations between mother and daughter is affected by the differences between the generations, when there is a crisis in relationship, death of a next of kin, daughter being adopted, school bullying, illness of mother or daughter, rejection or narrow-minded environment? The format was developed a few years ago through Finnish/Danish/Dutch cooperation.
