“Mom is the first word, the main word in every fate ...” is the famous line from the good old Soviet film.
But, it happens that a mother in a person’s life does not become a loving and understanding creature, ready to sacrifice everything for the sake of her child’s happiness, but a real destructive factor that brings disorder into the life of a child. In the history of world cinema, more than once such stories were taken as the basis of the plot of the film.
