Mother and Son (Russian: Мать и сын, romanized: Mat i syn) is a 1997 Russian film directed by Aleksandr Sokurov, depicting the relationship between an old, dying mother and her young son. It was Sokurov's first internationally acclaimed feature film, and is the first volume of a planned trilogy whose subject matter is the study of the drama in human relationships. It is followed by Father and Son (2003), and planned to be followed by Two Brothers and a Sister, the final installment, though as of 2019[update] this last has not been made; his Alexandra (2007) is sometimes considered part of this series, as another film on similar themes.[1] It was entered into the 20th Moscow International Film Festival where it won the Special Silver St. George.[2]

"Alexandra is very close to the trilogy - which has not been finished yet - of Mother and Son and Father and Son but I would still like to make a film about two brothers and a sister in that trilogy, which means there'll be four films, actually".
