Mother and Child
(M) Roadshow Entertainment
Motherhood comes in many shapes and forms.
Mother and Child explores the many facets of motherhood through a series of vignettes that appear to be unrelated.
Aussie actress Naomi Watts plays Elizabeth, a sexy, 30-something lawyer who uses her sexual power as a weapon to get her
way.
Abandoned as a child, Elizabeth doesn't know how to love or accept love. And children are never destined to be part of her life.
Karen (Annette Bening) is the mother who gave up Elizabeth as a newborn after she became pregnant as a 14-year-old.
Deep-seated anger over the "loss" of her daughter dogs Karen throughout her life leaving her cold and bitter and virtually unapproachable by others, particularly men.
Lucy (Kerry Washington) sits on the other side of the fence.
She is desperate to bring a baby into her life and provide the biological child her husband so dearly wants. But she is unable to get pregnant by normal means so must explore the adoption option.
Climbing on board this rollercoaster of emotion tests her marriage to its core.
As all three women work their way through daily living, their lives grow closer to overlapping.
But the question remains whether they will find the answers they have been looking for.
Mother and Child is full of drama and delicately explores the emotions of one of the most fundamental aspects of life.
