Tatjana in Motherland

Tatjana in Motherland is a partly animated documentary essay about Slovenia and its men. The story will unveil a Slovenian Oedipus archetype of the possessive martyr mother type and her relationship with her son, in which she through emotional manipulation, by constantly creating feelings of guilt, burdens her son to such a degree, that he remains dependant on her for the rest of his life. The result of the Slovenian maternal cult is a typical Slovene male, who is pathologically obsessed with his mother. He usually becomes an alcohol-addicted compulsive-creative artist or a narcissistic businessman, who treats people like figures, a politician who can only lead according to the principle of Divide and Conquer or even a sociopath murderer. Slovenia is one of the smallest European countries with a populationof 2 million. It has a most unusual geographical shape, reminiscent of a protective mother-henguarding her eggs.
