Mother Died, Stop

An elderly woman pays visit to her mother who resides in nursing home. Few days later she receives a telegram that the mother died, but it turns out that the address it was sent to was wrong. However the guilt of neglect starts to torment the mourning daughter nonetheless.

Directed by Andrej Stojan, Mother Died, Stop leans on a strong ensemble — Angela Janko, Vida Juvan, Polde Bibič — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1974.
