Mother Teresa & Me is a sensitive film with warm, radiant characters. It tells of the mysterious interweaving of the lives of two women: the young Kavita, with Indian roots, in London and, as a mirror image, the adult Sister Teresa from North Macedonia with her missionary zeal in India.
The contradictions between the two women feel deeply human and convey a hopeful message of mercy.
Kamal Musale’s film shows both the light and shadow sides of the famous founder of a religious order. As Mother Teresa, Zurich native Jacqueline Fritschi-Cornaz not only embodies these crises of faith but also makes the benefactor’s inner drive clear.
