Karen became pregnant at fourteen and, under pressure from her mother, gave her newborn daughter up for adoption. Thirty-five years later she works as a nurse but remains shaped by that loss. Her biological daughter Elizabeth has grown into an accomplished lawyer whose independence and guarded personal life conceal unresolved questions about family.
A third story follows Lucy and her husband Joseph as they attempt to adopt a child through a Catholic agency. Their uncertainty, Karen’s wish to reach the daughter she never knew, and changes in Elizabeth’s life connect the three women through different experiences of adoption and motherhood. The 126-minute film premiered in 2009 and opened in the U.S. on May 7, 2010.
