The author gives a psychoanalytic reading of Mother by Joon-Ho. The aim is to show what this movie teaches us about the clinical approach to mental deficiency and its effects on the relationships between a mother (Mother) and her son (Do-Joon). This mother without limit and this idle son who tries in his way to resist her, find themselves in a situation whose extreme subjective precariousness highlights the inconsistency of their social connection. For both of them, the tuché, that is to say the meeting with the real, leads to a criminal act taking effect after the fact, in the existence of each of them, like an attempt at separation.
