Ma m re takes place in the Canary Islands, where the film's family shares a home. The mother H l ne (Isabelle Huppert), cool and in charge, and her teenaged son Pierre (Louis Garrel), a pious Catholic back from boarding school, discuss his father's infidelity; the next they hear, he is dead in a car crash. H l ne launches into a wild series of parties, gradually involving her son in her drugging, drinking and sex-fuelled nights out.
When she mysteriously goes away, her son is left in the care of her mistress R a (Joana Preiss) and Hansi (Emma de Caunes), an icy blonde sadist with whom he falls in love. As the film evolves, we realize that this is a period of initiation for the young man until his mother can return and fully bring him to sexual maturity and adulthood.
