Film | Jeunes Mères | English subtitles (for non-Dutch film fans)

Once in a while, we organize screenings of international films with English subtitles. We welcome all those who may not feel at home in the Dutch language but still crave the allure of international arthouse films. Dive into a cinematic world where English isn't the only language spoken; savor the flavors of for example French, Portuguese, Japanese or Iranian cinema. Our goal is to make high-quality cinema accessible to a wider audience, breaking down language barriers along the way. So join us, and let the magic of global cinema captivate you!

About the film
Jessica, Perla, Julie, Ariane, and Naïma have all grown up under challenging circumstances. As young mothers or mothers-to-be, they now live together in a mother-and-child home in Wallonia, where they find support, safety, and a sense of belonging. Although each of them has her own story, filled with personal struggles, hopes, and dreams, a quiet solidarity emerges among them, offering comfort in the face of isolation. ‘Jeunes mères’ ('Young Mothers') is a mosaic-style film that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, where the Dardenne brothers received the award for Best Screenplay. Most of the cast consists of non-professional actors, with the young women at the heart of the story delivering remarkably honest and powerful performances.
