Mother portrays the story of a widowed woman who has a kid named Do-Joon who was born with a congenital condition. Yoon Do-Joon, her kid, is incredibly handsome, but he is dumb, silent, and has a bad memory. Although he is at the age of 27, he still spends the majority of the day with his bad pal Jin-tae and yet sleeps with his mother at night. Suddenly, a high school girl was murdered in the vicinity. The evidence at the site indicates that Do-Joon is the primary suspect in the case. The police rapidly condemn Do-Joon, but Do - Joon's mother is skeptical about the decision of the government. She is determined to discover the truth for herself in order to clear her son's name. Through the film, the audience will sense her love for Do-Joon via every stride, her gaze, and her words, which are all extremely sincere and provide a holy sensation of motherly love. This film would most likely be a good choice to watch on Mother's Day.
