Anna happily lives with her husband, their two boys, and Simon, 6 years-old, who was placed with her by the Social Care services when he was only 18 months. When Simon’s father decides that he is ready to take his son back with him, the family’s balance is at stake. Anna is torn apart: how could she possibly let go of a child who has always called her ‘Mom’?

“A first-rate tearjerker... never slides into soap-opera territory. It’s a thoughtful, heartbreaking melodrama.” —Yes Weekly
