The True Story of a search for a lost son. Philomena is the true story of one mother’s search for her lost son. Falling pregnant as a teenager in Ireland in 1952, Philomena Lee was sent to the convent of Roscrea to be looked after as a “fallen woman”. When her son Anthony was a toddler, he was taken away by the nuns for adoption in America. After secretly searching for him for decades, Philomena (a remarkable Judi Dench 0 The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Shakespeare in Love) meets Martin Sixsmith (Steve Coogan – Ruby Sparks, What Maisie Knew) a world-weary BBC journalist and former government advisor, as cynical as Philomena is trusting. Martin agrees to take on Philomena’s story as a “human interest” feature for a daily newspaper. Together they embark on a journey of discovery, revealing the extraordinary life of Philomena’s son whilst forming an unexpectedly close bond. Warm, witty and compassionate, and featuring a powerhouse performance from Judi Dench, Philomena is not to be missed.
