In this moving and hopeful mosaic film, the Dardennes show how five young women want to fight for a better life for themselves and their child.

Jeunes Mères is tot nu toe de beste film van het jaar en biedt precies wat we dezer dagen nodig hebben: licht in de duisternis’

★★★★★ Humo

Jessica, Perla, Julie, Ariane, and Naïma are staying in a mother-child home where they receive support as young (expectant) mothers. Five teenagers, each with their own story and challenges, find support in each other. Fighting for a better future isn't always easy, but the mother home offers protection, warmth, and connection.

Jeunes Mères had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, where the Dardenne brothers won the award for Best Screenplay. The cast consisted primarily of non-professional actors. The "young mothers," in particular, deliver a remarkable performance.
