Goodnight Mommy [Film and TV Commentary]

In a pastoral place far away from the hustle and bustle, the twins Lucas (Lukas Schwarz) and Elias (Elias Schwarz) lead a carefree life while waiting for the early return of their hospitalized mother every day. On this day, the two little guys ran home covered in mud and were surprised to find that their mother (Susanne Wuest) was finally back. It’s just that my mother’s head is wrapped in a bandage, and her original appearance can hardly be seen clearly. However, over the next period of time, the children found that their mother's attitude had become cold, and there were many strange things in her words and deeds. They even thought that this was not the real mother. The conflict between mother and son continues to intensify, and the boy suffers greatly when his mother forbids Elias from talking to his brother Lucas. What is it that brings this home to the edge of dilapidation? What exactly went wrong?
