Upon publication, it immediately sells out every copy. Mother prepares for the arrival of their child and reads Him’s newest piece, which is so beautiful it drives her to tears.

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. 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. Dozens of people begin arriving at the house for a wake for the dead son. Upon returning, Him informs Mother that the son has died. She then covers the blood stained floor with a rug.
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.

He couple’s two sons arrive and start to fight over the will their father has left. 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. 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.
