A Story That Goes Beyond Medicine – And Straight Into the Heart
“Some battles are fought with medicine. Others, with faith. But the deepest are fought within the heart.”
Set in the gritty yet hopeful backdrop of a struggling Nigerian neighborhood, His Mother’s Son tells the harrowing and heartfelt story of Boluwatife (Tife) and her only son, Elijah.
As Elijah battles a mysterious condition that seems to slip between science and the spiritual, Boluwatife must navigate the conflicting worlds of modern medicine and deep-rooted traditional beliefs. Through desperation, silence, and hope, the film unravels a powerful narrative about love, loss, judgment, and healing.
