Viewers interested in modern Drama cinema often explore Air Mata Fatimah because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.
Hamda, a widow whose husband had left her somewhere, struggled to support herself and her only daughter, Fatimah. The life of the mother and child is marginalized by other villagers, because Hamda works as a prostitute. Hamda is often cornered into a completely wrong position at the request of his son: the Holy Qur'an, mukena, prayer rugs, and Islamic religious textbooks.
