A team of social workers attempts to fill the void left by the parents of the five protagonists, who are joining forces to combat the catastrophic circumstances to which these women\u2014now young mothers\u2014have been or are currently exposed. Stylistically, the film draws on the documentary-based social realism for which the filmmakers are known. Rather than focusing on a single fate, they present a spectrum of how life unfolds in this social setting&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We see a brilliant ensemble cast: Perla (Lucie Laruelle) also wanted a family, just like her older sister; now she is fighting to stop her boyfriend from leaving her and their child. Jessica (Babette Verbeek) wants to get to know her mother and secure a grandmother for her child. Ariane (Jana\u00efna Halloy Fokan) has no intention of returning to her alcoholic mother and her violent boyfriend: she wants to keep her child safe. Julie (Elsa Houben) wants to leave incest and drug addiction behind with her boyfriend and child. Na\u00efma (Samia Hilmi) hopes that she can reconcile with her mother and find a way back into the family with her child, without being cast out again. Having a child was intended as part of the solution to satisfy the need to be loved as a child herself: a powerful act, after all.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As in their other films, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne portray a society that fails and only offers help when it is actually already too late, when a \u2018case\u2019 has arisen: young mothers have always been the object of social care. The parents, themselves marginalised, become perpetrators: they deny, mistreat and abuse their children. And they abandon them, especially the fathers (who are not even sought after).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work at the shelter comes at the end of the chain; it provides temporary protection for the new mother-child dyad, but remains powerless against the forces of circumstance. We need more of everything, and services are needed for everyone. We see social workers doing everything in their power \u2013 there is so much we do not see; there are medications to help with withdrawal, but no psychotherapy. The shelter is only available for a limited time \u2013 the support is not tailored to the needs of the young women, let alone those of their family environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does social work make a difference? We don\u2019t know what lies ahead, and the burdens weighing on these young women\u2019s shoulders still seem overwhelming, even when a stroke of luck offers a glimmer of hope. At the same time, the good things and the successes are not forgotten: in the final scene, a retired primary school teacher is asked to be a bridesmaid for her former pupil. <em>(G\u00fcnter Hefler)<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Palme d'Or for Best Screenplay \u2013 Cannes 2025&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201c\u2019Young Mothers\u2019 Is a Gentle Gift from the Dardenne Brothers\u201d (Justin Chang, New Yorker, January 2, 2026)<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe realities of poverty, neglect, racism, and violence are harsh constants in the Dardennes\u2019 working-class universe, but the filmmakers believe no less intently in the persistence of goodness \u2013 a force that is all the more powerful, they insist, for the stubborn unpredictability with which it can take root.\u201d <\/em><em>(Justin Chang, New Yorker, January 2, 2026)<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cUp close and personal, without judgement, but with great emotional impact.\u201d \u2013 NDR<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Welcome by Iris Dullnig-Scheurecker, Vienna Regional Council \u2013 Department of Women\u2019s and Equality Policy<\/strong><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1vw\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jeunes M\u00e8res - Junge M\u00fctter | Offizieller Trailer | Ab 5.
