The Taste of Mango

Sleepwalking into submerged depths of memory, a mother’s dream and a daughter’s beckoning, this fascinating film tenderly untangles the knots of the past.

Director: Chloe Abrahams

Watch trailer Rent for £4.50

Overview

Filmmaker Chloe Abrahams’ feature documentary debut unpeels the layers of her family history to reveal the fibres that bind mothers and daughters. Three generations, spanning London to Sri Lanka, are woven into this poetic, meditative film that flows through time and the occasional country music banger. Affectionate and frank, The Taste of Mango is a beautiful love letter that cracks open secrets with bold vulnerability.

The Taste of Mango was made with the support of the BFI Doc Society Fund, awarding National Lottery funding.
