Mama Illegal

By

Ed Moschitz

They gave the smugglers all their money and risk their life on their journey across borders: three women from a small town in Moldavia, living now in Austria as cleaning women. On top of their hard job they live a life in illegality without documents, far away from their children and family for years. A film about the price of the dream of a better life.
