MUM
By Belle Seva

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE: During the war, an eight-year-old boy, witnessing how illness and hunger break his once strong mother, takes a deadly risk, believing he can save her.

SYNOPSIS:

Set in a small provincial town during wartime, the story follows a mother struggling to care for her three children while battling illness and constant hunger. Her eight-year-old son grows up too fast, trying to support her in every way he can. He searches for food, looks after his younger siblings, and carries responsibilities far beyond his years. When the only potato field — their sole source of nourishment — becomes dangerous due to war, the family faces the threat of starvation. One day, the boy sees his mother weak and crying for the first time. Desperate to save her, he secretly ventures to the forbidden field, convinced that bringing food back will restore her strength. What happens next is a dramatic turning point, testing the limits of courage, love, and sacrifice — and leaving the audience questioning whether hope can survive even in the darkest times.
