Mother and Child

From writer-director Rodrigo Garcia (TV's 'Big Love', 'Nine Lives') comes the moving story of three women and the power of the unbreakable bond between mother and child. Three women's lives share a common core: they have all been profoundly affected by adoption. Karen (Annette Bening) placed a baby for adoption at age 14 and has been haunted ever since by the daughter she never knew. Elizabeth (Naomi Watts) grew up as an adopted child; she's a bright and ambitious lawyer, but a flinty loner in her personal life. Lucy (Kerry Washington) and her husband are just embarking on the adoption odyssey, hoping for the opportunity to become parents. With Jimmy Smits and Samuel L. Jackson.
