In 1952 Ireland, societal norms were conservative. A young girl named Philomena (played by Judi Dench) is sent to a convent to work in hard labor after becoming pregnant out of wedlock, with only one hour each day to spend with her son, Anthony. When Anthony is three years old, he is forcibly taken away by the nuns and sent to a foster family in America. For fifty years, Philomena is immersed in her longing for her son. She shares her story with a journalist named Martin (played by Steve Coogan), who decides to embark on a journey with her to find her son. This unlikely duo, with their starkly different personalities, embark on an adventure that transcends just a mother’s search for her child, but also serves as a testament to friendship amidst hope and loss. Philomena slowly learns about her son’s extraordinary life and the hidden secrets he held. Will her belated love be able to reach Anthony, who has been lost to her for many years? 'Philomena' is adapted from the non-fiction book 'The Lost Child of Philomena Lee' by BBC journalist Martin Sixsmith, based on a true story. The film centers around a mother’s transcontinental search for her son after half a century, wrapping a tragic story in a comedic exterior, allowing viewers to experience a mix of laughter and tears while conveying appropriate weight to topics like homosexuality, AIDS, and homophobia. 'Philomena' won the Best Screenplay award at the Venice Film Festival and the highest LGBT honor, the Queer Lion, along with four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.
