Movie propaganda
Mother and child is a drama centred around three women whose paths will cross and change them forever: Karen (Annette Bening) a reserved 50-year old nurse, who was forced to give up her daughter Elizabeth (Naomi Watts) for adoption 35 years ago; the daughter who's grown into a singe-minded career woman; and Lucy (Kerry Washington), desperate to adopt a child of her own. A moving tale about forgiveness, the choices we make, the chances we miss, the opportunities we seize and the power of the unbreakable bond between a mother and child.
