Young Mothers
Young Mothers
At a shelter in Liège, Belgium, five teenage mothers struggle with everyday life. Perla had thought she would get an abortion and changed her mind; Julie is a drug addict, struggling to stay sober; Ariane has made the decision to say goodbye to her baby and give it up for adoption; Jessica is pregnant and just starting her stay while Naïma is on her way out–to where? The Dardenne Brothers’, two of the most acclaimed filmmakers in the world today, present perhaps their most acutely-observed and heartbreaking film.
