In a peaceful suburban town, the life of a single mother, Jackie, is turned upside down when her ex-husband, Luke, introduces his new partner, Isabel—a young and successful photographer who seems to have it all: style, ambition, and a touch of carefree modernity. Jackie, portrayed by the brilliant Susan Sarandon, feels threatened by Isabel's arrival, played by Julia Roberts, and struggles to accept that her family is changing. Tension begins to grow between the two women as each tries to carve out her own place in the lives of Jackie's two children, while Luke attempts to mediate between their two worlds.
As days go by, the relationship among the three becomes more complicated; Jackie tries to maintain her role as a protective mother, while Isabel, despite her good intentions, begins to establish a special connection with the children. Jackie's terminal illness adds an emotional twist to the story, forcing everyone to reevaluate their priorities and the true meaning of family. Through moments of magic, laughter, and tears, both women discover they can find a balance, learn to respect and support each other, creating space for love and acceptance. This poignant story reminds us that family is not always defined by blood, but by the bonds we create along the way.
