Lollipop (15)

— ,Cinemas

A mother and her estranged childhood friend come together and fight the system for custody of her children in this heartfelt drama from Daisy-May Hudson.

When young mum Molly (Posy Sterling) is released from prison after serving four months, she assumes it will be a matter of hours before she can pick up her children from foster care. Instead, Molly finds herself in the mother of all catch-22s: she can’t get housing because she doesn’t have her kids living with her; but she can’t get them back without a roof over her head.

When Molly reconnects with her childhood friend, and fellow single mother, Amina (Idil Ahmed), the two women join forces and take destiny into their own hands.

Director Daisy-May Hudson's first film, documentary Half Way, chronicled her and her family's personal experience of losing their home. She then made Holloway, a documentary on the women's prison.
