Pragma

Pragma is a mother-daughter story set in the course of a day, in which the repressed tension between Juli and Lili and the lack of real, attentive love that the girl would need from her mother is symbolised by the daughter's inability to eat her mother's cooking without being sick at their own birthday lunch.
