Jessica, Perla, Julie, Ariane and Naïma are housed in a shelter for young mothers. The intersecting lives of these five teenagers hoping for a better life for themselves and their babies forms the subject of this beautiful and poetic film from the Dardennes. The film is a true-to-life portrait of the struggles faced by these young women living on or near the margins of society.

With typical precision and grace, this richly moving new film builds on a body of humane work from the two great masters of social realist cinema. This is direct, emotional cinema with a compassionate approach to those portrayed, resulting in a film that is not only deeply affecting, but one that is sympathetic and nuanced.

★★★★★ “There is such simplicity and clarity here, an honest apportioning of dignity and intelligence to everyone on screen: every scene and every character portrait is unforced and unembellished.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“This is a hopeful movie, not a depressing one. Even so, it tugs at you, long after the last frame.” – Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
