One of the most powerful connections is between a mother and child. This connection begins in the womb and lasts forever. So imagine the heartache of having your child taken from you and searching your entire life unsuccessfully.
Philomena was a young teenager who fell for a boy and let her desires get the best of her. Being a young girl without a mother to teach her the proper measures of protection, she finds herself at the mercy of an Irish convent to help her raise her child. After slaving away and constant repentance for her sins, her son is adopted and taken away.
Now an elderly woman, she continues her life mission to find her son. With the help of a "down on his luck" journalist, Philomena travels to America after finding out the church and convent she so faithfully trusted, had purposely disieved her.
Had he asked about her? Tried to find her? Known about her? These and so many other questions absorb her thoughts as she tries to find her son.
This movie has witty English humor, compassion, and enthusiasm for life. See how two unlikely people bond while searching for the missing son of Philomena.
*A true story based on the practices of an Irish Convent that sold children from young and/or diceased mothers to American families.
