This chronicle of two women explores two different kinds of motherhood, but also pays tribute to the elements all women with children have in common. Anna has a small daughter, but when she and her husband move to a new city and she gives birth to a second child, things are not so easy. The new baby is ailing, her other daughter is troublesome, and Anna is lonely in her new environment. Meanwhile, Cerise--a single mother with a rebellious teenage daughter--gets pregnant again but loses the baby to a fire. The two women become friends, and serve as crucial supports for each other at a time when they desperately need it. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
