How does one begin to define a relationship to our mother … for that matter death. The former changes our relationship to everything and the latter happens to us all. Who is my mother & what is our relationship ? Erika, my mom, asked me to make a film with her about this, and I'm still not quite sure why (I'm still trying to figure it out). Beautiful Monsters is the result. Two woman, a mother & daughter, set aside time to film their relationship and share the experiences of their life.
