Brief Explanation

Mothers put themselves under a lot of pressure to be a good mom. To show them they shouldn’t worry about being perfect, we made a film about 2 real mothers: The mother of an Astronaut and the mother of a prisoner. And we captured their emotions on their way to see their sons. But we never revealed who was the mother of which son leaving the viewer guessing and demonstrating that, whatever the circumstances, no one can tell the difference between 2 mother’s love.
