Out of the many films that I had watched for this module, the mothers portrayed in the movies are selfless and willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their children, but Nobody Knows by Hirokazu Koreeda (2004) certainly is an exception. A movie based on an actual event, Nobody Knows is about four children abandoned by their mother and left to survive on their own, and the main lead of the movie Yūya Yagira won the award for Best Actor at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival for his performance in the movie.
