There are films that you don’t need to “pick apart” — you just recognize yourself from the first minute.
The family comedy “NU MAM” is just like that: about our childhood, our families, our love — funny, very human, and at times painfully familiar.
The film was made in Ukraine during the war. It’s not a “heavy war movie,” but a warm story that supports and embraces — that’s why you want to watch it in a theater, next to your loved ones.
Screening organizer – Created in Ukraine.
Screenings will be held in Ukrainian with English subtitles.
Age restriction: 12+.
Duration: 90 minutes.
What “NU MAM” is about — and why it’s so recognizable
The film consists of several stories that intertwine with each other. Each one is about different types of relationships between mothers and children: from childhood to adult life, when you seem independent, but the bond with your mother remains the strongest.
This movie is about moments that everyone knows:
when you say: “Maaam, don’t start,” and realize it’s already too late;
when the call “Have you eaten?” comes exactly when you’re on a date, at work, on the road — anywhere but “in the kitchen”;
when care turns into a superpower that works even at a distance — across cities, countries, and thousands of kilometers.
The main emotion here is warmth. The comedy is not about “perfect people,” but about real ones: a little funny, stubborn, touching. About how we grow up, argue, try to be independent — and still return to the most basic: to family.
Why this movie is good to watch in Israel
In Israel, the theme of “mom and distance” sounds especially recognizable — not only for Ukrainians. Here, half the country lives between two homes: parents in another city, children in the army, family scattered around the world, calls “how are you?” and “have you eaten?” — it’s almost a national genre of care.
For Ukrainians in Israel, this plot hits right in the heart: the war has once again made Ukraine part of everyday conversations, and the connection with loved ones — something to hold onto literally every day.
But for Israelis, this movie will also be close: it’s about family without gloss, about love that sometimes annoys but doesn’t let go. About mom’s anxiety, about the habit of controlling, about funny scenes where you recognize your kitchen, your voice on the phone, your “well, it started.”
That’s why such screenings often become not just a “trip to the movies,” but an evening “meeting place”: you leave the hall — and want to talk, smile, remember, and most importantly — call those who matter.
