Mother and Daughter have always been fighting. In William Wyler’s The big country (1958) the actors Gregory Peck and Charlon Heston are fighting in the middle of a vast landscape the whole night long until the next day – that was the way to solve their problems. This physical last battle was the inspiration for a family home movie.
