Mother's Day

Director Teona Strugar Mitevska
Cast Noomi Rapace, Sylvia Hoeks

This unconventional biopic captures seven intense days in the life of Mother Teresa, portrayed by Noomi Rapace. Director Teona Strugar Mitevska takes a bold approach, moving away from hagiography to depict Teresa as a pragmatic CEO-like figure striving to organize her religious order as a powerhouse. Fueled by a raw, punk-rock soundtrack, the film deconstructs the icon, presenting a woman driven by ambition and autonomy rather than traditional piety.
