Mother

Calcutta, India, 1948. Mother Superior Teresa waits anxiously for a letter from the Vatican that will finally grant her permission to establish her own order. A calling she has received from God, but also a radical wish for a sister. However, the tireless and ambitious Teresa does not let herself be discouraged and prepares everything for her possible departure.

But when her intended successor confides a great secret to her, both Teresa's mission and their friendship are severely tested. A decisive week in the life of Mother Teresa before she became world-famous: Mother is an intense character study about the woman behind the myth.
