Otherhood

• Comedy

A bittersweet comedy unfolds as three empty-nest mothers, adrift in the wake of ignored Mother’s Day wishes, impulsively embark on a chaotic road trip to reconnect with their grown sons in New York City. Beyond a simple attempt at maternal reconnection, the film delicately explores the evolving dynamics of motherhood as these women navigate the unexpected realities of their sons’ independent lives and grapple with feelings of obsolescence. The humor isn't found in grand gags, but in the awkward, poignant moments of intrusion and the surprising grace with which each mother adapts to her son’s world—or doesn’t. It’s a refreshingly honest portrait of modern family relationships, where love persists despite distance and differing expectations, leaning into the gentle ache of letting go rather than saccharine resolutions.
