In this work, the subconscious problems of a daughter who rejects going school is observed by the function of C.G. Jung’s psychological concept, the Great Mother. The subconsciousness of the daughter is shown on the screen of the monitor in the scenes. When the daughter becomes violent, how does a personified great mother function?
