(15)

Flawed but loving young mother Molly locks horns with British societal systems, particularly social services, when she tries to get her two kids back (currently in foster care) following her short prison stay and the loss of their family home.

With her impulsive nature and in a desperate bid to start over, Molly confronts some tough bureaucratic obstacles that are blocking her path, gaining strength and determination through a warm childhood friendship.

A powerful slice of social realism with exceptional acting.

“It’s an impassioned, humane and urgently performed drama…Informed by her own experiences [director] Daisy-May Hudson’s portrait of a woman trying to regain custody of her kids is surprisingly even-handed…”
