In a residential shelter for young mothers in Liege, Belgium, five young women grapple with the challenges of pregnancy and parenting, while at the same time dealing with the legacies of their own troubled backgrounds.
Whether dealing with their own abusive parents, absentee fathers of their children, recovering from addiction, preparing for the birth of their first child, or getting ready to leave the shelter having succeeded in getting their life back on track, all these women are facing up to the challenges of being a young mother in this emotionally honest social-realist film marked by the Dardenne brothers’ typical no-frills approach.
