A new film from two-time Palme d'Or winners Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne. A moving and hopeful mosaic film about five young women.

Jessica, Perla, Julie, Ariane, and Naïma are staying in a mother-and-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-and-child 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.

There are no new dates planned (yet) for Jeunes mères.
