About This Movie

(M)OTHER dives deep into the fragile emotional landscape of its two central characters, A-Wei and Ching.

The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the weight of their interactions to breathe and develop, which really emphasizes the themes of loss and connection.

It’s this blend of tender moments and stark reality that sets (M)OTHER apart, making it a notable addition to the contemporary drama landscape.
