“Her Mother” tells the story of Harumi, an average housewife who suffers the tragedy of losing her daughter Michiyo in a murder committed by her son-in-law Koji. Harumi becomes obsessed with trying to understand why Koji did it and starts visiting him in prison in order to find out the truth before he faces the death penalty. The more the two talk, the more she begins to believe that Koji is the only one who understands her pain but her visits cause conflict with her husband and brother who do not understand her obsession with Koji. This conflict grows as she campaigns to delay the execution and struggles to deal with her grief by finding out what triggered the crime.
