Madres e hijos

At forty, Peter, a New York immigration lawyer, leads a life defined by stress and loneliness. He devotes his days to the tireless defense of his clients, only to return to an empty apartment and sporadic encounters with a man who wants more from him than he can give. However, when the case of a young gay Albanian man pierces his emotional armor, an event he has spent twenty years avoiding comes rushing back with the full force of the past. His mother, Ann, runs a women's retreat center she founded after separating from Peter’s father. Although the distance from her son causes her pain, she chooses to cling to the world she has built, banishing thoughts of the decision that drove them apart. Yet, as the young Albanian’s case plunges Peter into memories of his first love and the tragic night that changed his life forever, mother and son are forced to confront the secret that has kept them apart.
