The Mother background

The Mother

In a desperate attempt to avoid a life in a juvenile detention center, a 14-year-old boy named Miguel navigates a chaotic existence with his struggling mother, who is unable to provide a stable home due to her own personal and financial difficulties.

A 14-year-old boy named Miguel is struggling to survive after his mother's personal life and work status make it impossible for her to care for him. He's forced to fend for himself, doing chores, selling items, and even stealing to get by. When Social Services intervenes once more, Miguel's mother sends him to live with her ex-lover Bogdan in a nearby town. Meanwhile, a kind-hearted bar owner named María takes a maternal interest in the boy. But when Miguel's mother suddenly vanishes, his life is turned upside down.
