Young Mothers – directed by Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne – is an intimate and moving portrait of five young mothers living in a shelter and struggling to create a better future for themselves and their children.

With their characteristic gaze, the Dardenne brothers follow women in an everyday life marked by both vulnerability and indomitable strength. The film depicts the complexity of motherhood, when lived under the pressure of difficult upbringings, economic uncertainty and emotional trauma.

Young Mothers is a powerful, empathetic tale of responsibility, hope and the possibility of change, told with an authenticity and human insight that has made the Dardenne brothers some of Europe's most acclaimed filmmakers. The film premiered in the Official Competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
