What does it feel like to be a mother, but your child isn't allowed to grow up with you? In Mama, Mag Ik Naar Huis Toe?, six mothers share their vulnerable stories about their children's removal from home. They speak of the void it leaves behind, the guilt and shame that haunt them, and the fear of losing their bond with their child forever. At the same time, the film shows how love and courage can be stronger than judgment and pain.

Aleksandra, Diana, Noraly, Monique, Coby, and Yvonne share how they, step by step, found a path to collaboration with the foster parents who provide a home for their children. This process was often difficult and emotional, but also brought moments of healing, trust, and unexpected connection. It is a film about loss and resilience, about love that continues to beat, and about the search for connection. With their children, with others, and with themselves.

Mama, Mag Ik Naar Huis Toe? doesn't offer easy answers, but creates space for conversation, understanding, and connection. A moving documentary that touches the heart and emphasizes the importance of listening to parents.
