Part 1: Song of My Mother’s Tears Cast & Their Personality Introduction
Lexi Collins as Faith (Annabelle Caraway’s Teen Version)
Faith of Song of My Mother’s Tears vertical drama shouldn’t only be for an accomplished musician. Instead, her identity lies in her status as Annabelle Caraway, Kathleen’s missing daughter.
Sister Mary found little Annabelle when the latter girl lay weakly in a hospital. There, the Sister renamed her as Faith. We believe the name Faith resembles the main female character’s undying conviction that her mother is alive somewhere else.
One of the most unfortunate conditions for Faith is her toxic adoptive family’s upbringing. They do nothing more than steal her money while lazing around. Even worse, Ashley Foster, Faith’s adoptive sister, also steals her identity!
Lexi Collins plays Faith, the teen version of Annabelle. Some of Lexi’s other ReelShort movies include Twilight Romance Flash Marriage to Mature Tycoon and Breaking The Ice. Those two movies feature her in a supporting role. Therefore, this movie marks her debut as the lead!
Cameron Porras as Seth
Early flashbacks of Song of My Mother’s Tears vertical drama show Seth as Annabelle’s lost brother. His father’s beatings against him and his mother separated him from the rest of his family. The bruises on his small body have also weakened him, and 13 years have passed.
Such backstories lead Seth to be a dedicated painter. He could use his painting equipment to draw any subject. However, the paintings of his younger sister always bring sentimental value to him.
No wonder Seth explodes when Faith seems to have splashed on his paintings! Even when Seth had seen the birthmark, he still thought Faith was a faker until he found out more!
Cameron Porras, the actor behind Seth’s role, should be a model and an influencer. So far, Cameron has only played in three movies apart from Song of My Mother’s Tears. That way, this vertical drama becomes Cameron’s debut on ReelShort!
Eli Jane as Kathleen Caraway
Song of My Mother’s Tears vertical drama has Kathleen Caraway as the mother looking for her missing daughter. 13 years have passed since her drunken husband passed away, and the car hit her daughter.
Now, the wheelchair-bound Kathleen lives with her painter son, Seth. Sometimes, she would ask her assistant to look around for people’s shoulders. After all, Kathleen remembers her missing daughter has a heart-shaped birthmark on one of the daughter’s shoulders.
Kathleen might be a real estate mogul who has bought the LA Philharmonic. However, family reunion is more crucial for her, and she will stop at nothing!
Kathleen’s heroism as a mother reminds us of other Eli Jane’s roles in ReelShort. We remember Eve Wilson in The Lost Prima Ballerina. Then, as for the fantasy setting, we also remember Queen Jessica of The Alpha Queen Returns vertical drama.
These entire roles convince us that playing the heroic and charismatic mother is Eli’s forte!
Ashley Foster
Song of My Mother’s Tears vertical drama has Ashley Foster as the villain. Her role in the movie doesn’t stop as the spoiled daughter of Roy Foster, a lazy old man. Instead, she also strategizes alongside her father to pose as the long-lost Caraway’s heiress.
Further episodes prove that Ashley doesn’t only do no work. She also can’t do anything to the pawn store’s violin except hold it. Even then, Ashley’s standing posture is not as optimal as Faith a.k.a. Annabelle.
Like her father, money is all that Ashley cares for. It leads her to follow the breaking news about Kathleen Caraway’s interviews and pay attention to mimic the long-lost daughter.
Part 2: What Can We Learn from Song of My Mother’s Tears Summary?
What Happened to the Caraway Family in the Past 13 Years?
Song of My Mother’s Tears movie shows that the Caraway family should be a happy family. After all, they have the violin genius, Annabelle Caraway, who loves her mother. Back then, Annabelle would always play violin on Mother’s Day.
The patriarch, Howard Caraway, should have become an accomplished CEO had he never gotten himself drunk.
Howard’s drunkenness led him to forsake his remaining family members. As a result, Kathleen Caraway, the wife and mother of two kids, had to sell her Stradivarius violin. Unfortunately, the pawn shop’s $400 pricing feels like an insult.
Such a small amount of money also won’t be sufficient for Annabelle’s congenital heart disease treatment. At the same time, Howard also appears before the rest of the family members to beat them up.
The drunken Howard also rendered his wife inability to move by hitting her hard twice. Then, Howard proceeded to steal Annabelle’s organs to fulfill his egoism in getting more money for himself. Meanwhile, he also threw Seth, Annabelle’s brother, away.
Howard might have eventually died. However, the remaining Caraway family members’ separations are just the beginning!
What Happens after the Sister Renames Annabelle as Faith?
Song of My Mother’s Tears movie’s plot indicates Sister Mary is the individual who finds Annabelle. That time, Annabelle didn’t only lie weakly on the hospital’s bed. She also held a family photo with both of her hands.
Sister Mary then took Annabelle under her care and renamed her Faith. 13 years have passed since Sister Mary found Annabelle, and now Annabelle, a.k.a. Faith, is ready for the violin audition.
Unfortunately, Faith’s adoptive families always attempt to sabotage her efforts. They know Faith has worked on two side jobs. Still, they steal everything that Faith has earned from her hard work.
Meanwhile, the breaking news doesn’t only show a familiar figure of Kathleen Caraway, a real estate mogul. Instead, the news also mentions Kathleen’s open audition for her long-lost daughter.
Faith has all of the daughter’s characteristics that Kathleen mentions. Still, will she manage to break free from her adoptive sister’s attempts to steal her identity?
Part 3: Some Thoughts on Song of My Mother’s Tears Vertical Drama
Song of My Mother’s Tears is yet another vertical drama that features musicality that meets the legendary Eli Jane! Eli once again becomes a heroic mother searching for her long-lost daughter.
We never forget her acting as Eve Wilson in The Lost Prima Ballerina movie! Even further, Song of My Mother’s Tears movie’s main female character has an identical hairstyle to Amelia Wilson!
The flashbacks in this newly-released movie also balance with the main plot. Still, we are dying to see what motivates Seth to be a painter instead of focusing on other art forms!
Will we see more from Seth’s POVs over the next sequel? As for this sequel, will we see the mother embracing her son and daughter passionately?
The first few free-to-watch episodes already spark our hope for Annabelle a.k.a. Faith’s HEA ending! Plus, we’re dying to see the punishment that awaits the toxic adoptive family.
After all, a real-estate mogul like Kathleen’s intuition is sharp enough to see behind people who only want her money!
Conclusions
Song of My Mother’s Tears vertical drama doesn’t only feature the legendary Eli Jane as the charismatic mother. The story’s plots also tell more stories than Faith’s hard work in juggling her side gigs.
