Wiesbaden's cross-generational cinema event screens Four Mothers for Edward on April 14
A cross-generational cinema afternoon is coming to Wiesbaden on April 14, 2026. The event, organised by the Wiesbaden Senior Council, will screen Four Mothers for Edward—a 2024 tragicomedy about family, duty, and self-discovery. Tickets cost six euros, with the film open to viewers aged six and older. The screening takes place at the Caligari Film Stage on Marktplatz 2, near the Dern'sches Gelände transport stop. Part of the Senior Council's Flashback: Lights, Camera… series, the afternoon invites audiences of all ages to enjoy the bittersweet comedy-drama.
Directed by Darren Thornton, *Four Mothers for Edward* follows Edward Brady, a writer struggling to care for his 81-year-old mother after her stroke. The 89-minute film blends humour and heartache as it examines how caregiving can dominate a person's life. Edward's journey highlights the tension between responsibility and the desire for personal freedom. The story explores themes of family bonds and unexpected support. As Edward navigates his new role, four women enter his life, each offering guidance in their own way. The film's mix of warmth and realism has resonated with audiences since its release last year.
The event offers a chance to see a thought-provoking yet uplifting film in a shared setting. With its accessible runtime and age rating, the screening aims to bring together different generations. Doors open at the Caligari Film Stage for what promises to be an engaging afternoon of cinema.
