Alexander Sokurov's extraordinarily lyrical film is a beautiful and tender ex- ploration of the deep affection between an ailing mother and her devoted adult son.

Set in a hauntingly beautiful landscape which Sokurov’s camera transforms into stunning cinematic canvases, the pair recall happier times as the dutiful son lovingly nurses his ailing mother in her final hours.

The first part in a proposed trilogy about familial bonds that continues with the captivating Father and Son, MOTHER AND SON is an emotional and poetic masterpiece of unique vision.
