Kabei: Our Mother (2007)

Set in the shadows of pre-WWII, the sudden arrest of Shigeru sends the Nogami family into distress. Kayo, along with her two daughters, is now left alone to carry the burden of making ends meet. Life is tough as fear, exhaustion and anxiety settles in, yet Kayo maintains her firm composure. "Kabei: Our Mother" is a compelling account of maternal love and survival, paying homage to mothers who have sacrificed their all for the sake of their family.
