The Mother's Soul

About This Movie

The Mother's Soul is this introspective drama that meanders through the lives of two kids, Thu and Đăng, both dealing with the weight of maternal absence in their own ways. You really get a sense of the village's atmosphere, with its quiet moments by the river and the bustling fruit market where Lan works. The bond that forms between Thu and Đăng is tender, yet there's an undercurrent of longing as they seek those parental connections. The performances, particularly from the young actors, feel authentic and unforced, drawing you into their world. It's paced slowly, which heightens the emotional stakes, allowing you to truly sit with their experiences. Definitely a film that lingers in the mind, exploring loss and the unique ways childhood shapes our understanding of family.

Focuses on childhood and parental absence. · Strong performances from the young cast. · Captivating atmosphere with village life.
