Mit dem Herzen einer Mutter

A woman loses her husband in a car accident and plunges into a severe emotional crisis, which is why she leaves her son in the care of her mother-in-law. When she goes to pick him up weeks later, a fierce battle breaks out between the women over the child.

Directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb, Mit dem Herzen einer Mutter leans on a strong ensemble — Sabine Kaack, Marina Berti, Raf Vallone — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1992.
