Poster for Mother

2024 · ★ 0.0 (0)

In regional Victoria during the late nineteenth century, young nun Sister Maria is summoned to a remote homestead to provide spiritual guidance to a couple grieving a stillbirth. As she settles into the farm, she quickly senses a dark presence at play: the crops are blighted; the animals are perishing; and swarms of snakes plague the land. Her world is further upended when, while praying for the couple to conceive a new child, Maria instead finds herself pregnant. Believing this pregnancy might be the miracle they’ve hoped for, Maria agrees to give the child to the couple in exchange for their discretion and shelter. But, as the birth draws near and tensions rise, she grows increasingly fearful that she might be harbouring a malevolent force.

Anyone who would have guessed from the title that they would see a fairy tale about spinners would not have guessed.

These cute godmothers, played by Jaroslava Adamová, Stella Zázvorková and Blažena Holišová, can grant three wishes, fly with the help of a magic hat and appear at the sound of a magic bell, but unfortunately they get something mixed up here and there and deliberately mess something up. In the end, however, fate prevails and the prince and Joanna find their happiness together.
