After Rita surrenders, she decides to forget about her dreams and go to the pub where her husband and mother are.
But when she sees her mother crying and saying " We could sing better songs than those" she is reminded of why she goes to Frank´s office, why she goes to see Macbeth and so on. She knows she can do better than that, she can do others things apart from drinking and hanging out in pubs. Her mother reminds her of her main objective: HER NEW LIFE AND CHANGE.
She remembers her main objective and the reason why she gives up many things (having a baby, agreeing with his husband, etc): she WANTS TO BE BETTER.
Her first hopes appear again, reminding her that by studying hard, and putting all her body and soul into it, she can achieve anything she wants.
I can even say that, maybe next time, she will have the guts to knock on Frank´s door.

That's the spirit, isn't it, Romina? Aim high, and keep moving, step by step... your dreams may seem far, but you'll be nearer the top every minute!
This scene also shows us how important a learner's background maybe in building their resilience: aren't the words by Rita's mother (even if she's unaware of their true meaning to her daughter, perhaps) invaluable to keep her on track".
Let's keep reading and learning together!
