A couple’s relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.
This story seems to have taken root in Aronofsky’s psyche, along with all his other obsessions — the horror of being trapped in a female body under the thumb of domineering men, the duality of light and darkness, the explosive relationship between mankind and the planet, and the mystical, cyclical nature of being. He dredged it all up and plunged it into his latest movie’s bleeding heart: Mother! is a mad fantasia of fire and water and insanity, a spinning, flaming plume that is not here to make you like it, though it wouldn’t mind if you decided to just bow down in worship.
he couple’s two sons arrive and start to fight over the will their father has left. The Oldest Son, who will be left with nothing, mortally injures his Younger Brother, and seemingly flees, while Him, Man, and Woman take the injured son to get help. Mother cleans up the blood stained scene and is unable to remove a spot of blood in the floor which she discovers has created a hole and finds drops of blood making its way into the basement. She follows the trails which highlights a hidden door in the wall, and opens the door to discover nothing but a cellar to an oil tank for the furnace. She then covers the blood stained floor with a rug. Upon returning, Him informs Mother that the son has died. Dozens of people begin arriving at the house for a wake for the dead son. More people arrive, and behave in an increasingly rude way that bothers Mother; she becomes angrier when people start to harass her and do things to the home and eventually snaps when they cause a pipe to burst and floods the house. She kicks everyone out. Angry with Him for allowing so many people into the house for his own pleasure and ignoring her, she berates him before the two have sex.
The next morning, Mother announces that she is pregnant. The news leaves Him elated and inspires him to finish his work. Mother prepares for the arrival of their child and reads Him’s newest piece, which is so beautiful it drives her to tears. Upon publication, it immediately sells out every copy. In celebration, Mother prepares dinner for him when a group of fans arrives at the house. As she barricades herself in her home, more fans arrive and begin to enter the house to use the bathroom. Their behavior devolves into stealing their belongings as keepsakes and disrupting the environment. An increasingly disoriented Mother makes her way around the house as each room devolves further into chaos. Him’s publisher, the Herald, takes part in the madness. Military men with guns arrive to help Mother, but a cult of devoted fans forms around Him; they start to engage in rituals and violent slaughterings.
Mother goes into labor and finds her husband, who takes her to his study, where she gives birth. The havoc outside subsides as Him tells Mother that the massive crowd wants to see the baby. Refusing, she holds on tight to her son as Him continually stares at her. When she finally falls asleep, however, he takes the baby outside to the crowd, who grab him and pass him along via crowd surf and break his neck. Devastated, Mother makes her way to the front of the crowd where she sees the hacked corpse of her baby and witnesses the crowd eating his flesh. Furious at them, she calls them murderers and begins stabbing them with a shard of broken glass. They turn on her, viciously beating and stripping her until Him intervenes; he implores she must forgive them. Mother escapes the grasp of the crowd and makes her way to the furnace’s oil tank in the cellar, which she had discovered earlier. Despite her husband’s pleas, Mother sets the oil on fire, killing the crowd and destroying the house and the surrounding garden and trees.
Both Mother and Him survive, but Mother is horrifically burned while Him is completely unscathed. He asks her for the love she has left for him, and she agrees to give it to him. He then tears open her chest, removing her heart in the process. As he opens up the heart with his hands, a new crystallized object is revealed. He places the object on its pedestal and once again, the house changes from a burnt-out husk to a newly renovated home. A new Mother forms in the bed and wakes up, wondering aloud where Him is.
