Kleptomami

Lucy (Rosalie Thomass) regularly shoplifts at the supermarket with her baby in the stroller. One day she is confronted by the store detective and reveals her secret to him. Lucy is tired of pretending to be the perfect mother. "She is torn between her own aspirations and the reality in which they find themselves after the birth of their child." (Director's comment - Pola Beck). A film about the absurdities of being a mom today. "KLEPTOMAMAMI is nothing more and nothing less than a wonderfully amusing and in its timing perfectly coordinated cinematic march through all the clichés that the phenomenon "mother of today" brings with it.
