The lives of three women have a commonality: adoption. Karen is a physical therapist who regrets that, as a teenager, she gave up her daughter for adoption. Elizabeth was an adopted child and is now a successful lawyer, but her personal life lacks warmth. Lucy and her husband have failed to conceive and now hope to adopt a baby to make their family complete.
Acting
Naomi Watts and Annette Bening destroy you in completely different keys.
Writing
García's script trusts silence; nothing is explained, everything is felt.
Director
Rodrigo García
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rodrigo García shot this in just 28 days on a shoestring budget, which explains the raw, stage-like intimacy.
Elizabeth's coldness mirrors García's own admitted struggles with connection — this is his most autobiographical film, despite being about women.
