worn down mother taking care of her family

A mother working hard and taking care of her husband while they wait for their son.

The hardship of earning an existence for the family made it impossible for the mother to approve the little pretty things which her daughter liked. Lack of attention made her son dissolute, but later the sturdy stock of his mother showed in him and the cozy home he provided for dad and sister made them forget the past.

The mother, Carmen, is a woman of three kids who was abused and abandoned by her husband. But she learns how to move on as a grade school teacher who puts up her own business and succeeds as an empowered woman.

A devoted mother feels neglected by her three grown up children who prioritise work over spending time with her. It is after she falls seriously ill that she is forced to re-evaluate the meaning and importance of family.

When life takes an unexpected turn, an unemployed woman must choose between caring for her distant mother or taking a job caring for an elderly person right in front of her.

Dragica does not lack for work. The house and cattle in western Serbia demand toil from dawn to dusk. She milks, harvests, prepares porridge for her handicapped daughter. Her own mother recently passed away. Now Dragica wears black and shaves her old father. Can there be an alternative to this daily self-sacrifice? Almost casually, Isaac Knights-Washbourn leaves space for such reflections: While chopping tomatoes, the woman opens up to a guest from town.

Moms are unsung superheroes. They work 24/7, 365 days a year, with no paid time off. They take care of household chores, look after their children, try to finish their graduate degree, and maintain a marital relationship. Twenty-four hours a day is hardly enough for them. Writer-director-mother Chuan-Ying Liao uses a GoPro camera to record eight days of her life as mother.

After a violent event comes to an end, a mother struggles to keep on being a caregiver to her handi-capable son.
