Overview
After years spent working as a prostitute in her Italian village, middle-aged Mamma Roma has saved enough money to buy herself a fruit stand so that she can have a respectable middle-class life and reestablish contact with the 16-year-old son she abandoned when he was an infant. But her former pimp threatens to expose her sordid past, and her troubled son seems destined to fall into a life of crime and violence.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A raw, unflinching portrait of a woman clawing toward respectability and her son's love, only to watch social forces and past sins pull them both under. Pasolini transforms a simple plot into a devastating examination of the cruelty embedded in respectability itself.
