The revered Belgian filmmakers explore the hopes and vulnerabilities of five young mothers at a shelter in Liège, with tender clarity. Jessica craves the acceptance of her own mother, while Perla hopes that a baby will draw her delinquent boyfriend closer. Recovering addict Julie sees a brighter future for herself as a mother alongside her caring fiancé, but Ariane feels desperately unprepared for the challenges ahead. Single mother Naïma, meanwhile, is newly employed and hopes to repair relations with her family.
‘Deeply moving but never manipulative, YOUNG MOTHERS amounts to the brothers’ best film in more than a decade.’ (Variety)
