Elena is a talented young theatre director who has already made a name for herself in the demanding and competitive artistic world of Sofia. Beyond her successful theatrical career, she dreams of having a child with her partner, Leon. Her future looks bright until Elena slowly realizes that she may not be able to conceive. In the midst of this existential crisis, however, Elena receives an invitation that will change everything. Invited to Kenya to teach acting and various performing arts in an orphanage, Maria soon finds herself in an incredibly impoverished part of Africa. The poverty is real, but, as she learns, so too is her students' energy and vast potential. Far from the sophisticated urban circles of Sofia, Elena’s experience forces her to reconsider everything she thought she wanted for herself and her future. An astute drama about finding new perspectives on life, Mother is an emotionally powerful tale of one woman’s journey to enlightenment.
