Release Date: 12th March, 2010

Synopsis: Motherhood is a bittersweet comedy that distils the dilemmas of the maternal state into the trials and tribulations of one pivotal day. Starting at dawn, Eliza’s to-do list is daunting: prepare for and throw her daughter’s 6th birthday party, mind her toddler son, battle for a parking space during an epic alternate side parking showdown, navigate playground politics with overbearing moms, and mend a rift with after posting her best friend’s confession on her blog. On top of it all, Eliza decides to enter a contest run by an upscale parenting magazine. In the process of trying by nightfall to put these thoughts into words, Eliza rediscovers her own voice and realizes what is truly valuable in her life. It looks at the challenges facing mothers everywhere with a keen eye to every slight to a nearly-middle-aged woman’s selfhood – from being called “M’am” by condescending twentysomethings, to endlessly stooping to pick up toys and a spouse’s dropped socks.
