Salha, the matriarch of a farming family in the remote north of Tunisia, is overjoyed when her son Malek returns home from Syria with a mysterious young wife in tow. She is willing to do anything to protect them and believes everything that Malek tells her of his experience in Syria. However, when men from the community start vanishing, Salha’s fragile world begins to shatter. ‘Motherhood’ is an exploration of the limits of maternal love and how guilt can haunt the human spirit.
