Philomena.

Philomena.

In 1952, a young Philomena was sent to the convent of Roscrea in Ireland after giving birth to her first child. When her son became a toddler, the nuns sent him to America for adoption. Philomena then spent the next fifty years seeking for him in vain. Based on journalist Martin Sixsmith's acclaimed book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee: A Mother, Her Son and a Fifty-Year Search, this is a bitter-sweet drama based on true events, a compelling narrative of human love and loss, and ultimately a celebration of life.
