FOUR STORIES. ONE FAMILY. AND EACH OF THEM HAS SOMETHING MOM DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT.

“Good Thing Mom Doesn’t Know” is a Ukrainian ironic crime comedy in a contemporary neo-noir style.

At the heart of the story are a music producer, a theatre actress and an IT specialist. They are all members of the same family, but each of them has skeletons in the closet that their loved ones know nothing about.

The film consists of four stories. The first three follow individual members of the family, while the fourth brings their stories together and leads them to a logical conclusion.

THREE STORIES. THREE CHARACTERS.

MAX

A charismatic adventurer, producer and lover of the good life. He is used to taking risks and believing he will somehow find a way out.

But now life is teaching Max a vivid lesson: he is drowning in debt, dealing drugs at a club, looking for money and his missing friend, while the people he owes are looking for him.

SLAVA

A theatre actress who loves peace and quiet — and also her colleague, who has no idea how she feels about him.

But there are things Slava does not know either. For example, that a dressing room is not only a place where you might run into a colleague, but also an armed, wounded gangster.

An ordinary evening after rehearsal suddenly becomes the most dangerous role of her life.

BORYA

A quiet IT specialist, a romantic, and the least obvious candidate for a criminal adventure.

After the death of the woman he loved, Borya cannot accept that the person responsible has gone unpunished, so he comes up with his first criminal plan.

Except that almost immediately, nothing goes according to plan.

One family. Three family members. And none of them knows what is happening in the others’ lives outside the family.
