Cinematic tribute to motherhood on National Mother's Day in Iran

People in Iran celebrate National Mother's Day, which marks the birth anniversary of Hazrat Fatimah Zahra (SA), the daughter of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

This day is dedicated to honoring mothers and acknowledging their invaluable role in society. iFilm English shares a scene from the 1989 Iranian classic ‘Mother’, directed by the late Ali Hatami, to pay homage to mothers around the globe.

The film 'Mother' unfolds through two interwoven series of events. The first series captures the essence of a family gathering around their elderly mother, remembering shared childhood memories. This portrayal shows the deep bonds that exist within a family and the cherished moments that shape one's upbringing.

The second narrative thread focuses on the elderly woman's preparations for her final journey, showcasing her joyful cooperation in arranging ceremonies to be observed after her passing.  

As National Mother's Day unfolds in Iran, the film 'Mother' serves as a reminder of the profound impact mothers have on our lives. The dedication of Hazrat Fatimah Zahra (SA)'s birth anniversary and the heartfelt scenes from 'Mother' make this day not only a celebration of maternal love but also a reflection on the universal themes of family and sacrifice.
