The Dardenne brothers' social-realist drama 'Young Mothers' follows five adolescent mothers living together at a maternal support home in Belgium. From drug addiction to precarious living situations, these women must face the challenges of their situation individually, but living together in this communal home gives them the tools, support and the community they need in order to do so.
