Call Mom! (2019) Synopsis

35-year-old Niki is a master of procrastination. Despite (or perhaps just because of) her mother worrying about her daughter's eternity-long teenage phase, Niki refuses to take any major life choices or start any deeper relationships. Niki and her mother can hardly coexist before the scuffle rolls in. As if they were deadly enemies, every word is interpreted, every gesture as a threat or an insult. At the same time, they want nothing more than to be able to communicate with each other. An arrangement that both makes for laughter and tears. But then it goes as well as it goes and suddenly Niki also realizes that it's time to grow up.—Filmtopp
