Alexandria 1942: Two excited new parents, wealthy Egyptian Jews, welcome King Farouk into their home. The king comes to bless their new daughters, baby triplets; it’s the prelude to a charmed life.

Suddenly, however, the girls lose their mother in an epidemic that sweeps Alexandria. Then, when political fortunes change in Egypt, they are forced to leave their riches behind and immigrate to Israel with their father. The Farouk blessing seems to have worn off.

Sixty years later, the turbulent events of their extraordinary lives have clouded the sisters’ relationships with secrets and lies. In a final attempt to clear their guilty consciences, they confront their ghosts and memories to seek forgiveness.

Three Mothers is an emotionally charged and tender drama about sisters who stuck together and sacrificed their husbands and children for their love for each other, because they had no other way. This film is a stunningly beautiful, evocative tale of Jewish family relationships at their best and worst.
