THREE MOTHERS (Shalosh Imahot)
Alexandria 1942: Two excited new parents, wealthy Egyptian-Jews, welcome King Farouk into their home. The king comes to bless their new daughters, baby triplets. The triplets, who had been living a charmed life, suddenly lose their mother in one of the epidemics that swept Alexandria. Later, when the political fortunes change in Egypt, they are forced to leave their riches behind and immigrate to Israel with their father. Sixty years later, the turbulent events of their extraordinary lives have clouded the sistersâ relationships with secrets and lies. In a final attempt to clear their guilty consciences, they confront their ghosts and memories to seek forgiveness. âThree Mothersâ is an emotionally charged and tender drama about âsisters who stuck together and sacrificed their husbands and children for their love for each other, because they had no other way.â This film is a stunningly beautiful, evocative tale of family relationships at their best and worst.
