Falling pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena Lee was sent to the convent of Roscrea to be looked after as a "fallen woman". When her baby was only a toddler, he was whisked away by the nuns to America for adoption. Philomena spent the next fifty years searching for him in vain. Then she met Martin Sixsmith, a worldweary journalist as cynical as Philomena was trusting.
Together they set off for America on a journey that would not only reveal the extraordinary story of Philomena's son, but also the powerful bond that grew up between Philomena and Martin - a surprising relationship that was both profoundly moving and very funny. The film is a bitter-sweet comedy, a compelling narrative of human love and loss, and a heart-breaking story that ultimately celebrates life.
Starring Dame Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Sophie Kennedy
