Young Mothers follows five teenage mothers—Jessica, Perla, Julie, Ariane and Naïma—living in a shelter that supports young women as they navigate early motherhood. Each girl faces challenging personal circumstances, yet they form a fragile community as they strive to build a better life for themselves and their children. Directed by JeanPierre and Luc Dardenne, the film reflects their signature social realism and intimate character focus.
