The Dark Mother
2023, Khmer. Directed by Kou Darachan.
In a bygone era in Cambodia, a small family resided. Nuon carried her pregnancy for several months with concerns that her baby may not survive. During her husband's absence, the villagers accused her of being the Dark Mother. Despite Nuon's efforts to protect her child, the local children feared her and refused to stay with her. The subsequent separation from her family left Nuon devastated. She recognized that a mother, whether human or ghost, must be present to care for her children.
