Mother is a tale of Pelageya, a mother of a revolutionary, and how her worries for her son turned into love for all Humanity. 

 
Great themes, a wonderful protagonist with constant growth and in general, an uplifting story.
The cast can feel a bit one-dimensional at times, but the focus is on the protagonist, Pelageya.

If you can’t stand stories where there’s nothing super exciting happening, then this is NOT for you.
However, if you want a heartwarming tale of a mother-son relationship blooming after a cold winter, do give this one a try!
