An intense movie night about young mothers, hope, and solidarity
On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, the film forum Duisburg presents Young Mothers - Jeunes Mères, an evocative film experience about five teenagers who carry early responsibility for a child or are on the verge of it. The film by brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne tells in precise, human images about courage, insecurity, and the great desire for a better life.

A film with closeness, depth, and a lot of emotion
The Dardenne brothers are known for their socially realistic style; Young Mothers was premiered in Cannes in 2025 and won the award for Best Screenplay there. The story follows Jessica, Perla, Julie, Ariane, and Naïma in a phase where every decision counts. This makes the evening a focused cinema experience for older teenagers and adults who appreciate demanding films with family relevance.

Why this cinema is important for families and discussions
Even though the film is not a classic children's program, it addresses themes that many families are concerned about: responsibility, care, bonding, and the question of how young people find support in difficult life situations. The film forum Duisburg has been understood for years as a community cinema with a media education mission and reaches more than 100,000 visitors each year with its program.

Who will particularly benefit from the evening
The film is especially recommended for viewers who enjoy quiet, thoughtful, and socially relevant cinema stories. Families with older teenagers will find a good opportunity for a joint discussion about life paths, overwhelm, and support. The theme is generally not intended for younger children.
