Ndibone imuvi phezolo Ophumeleleyo, ukusuka kwi-2005, kuba ndifunde ukuphononongwa okulungileyo malunga nayo kodwa kum, ngokukodwa, kwakubonakala ngathi ifilimu eqhelekileyo.
Ophumeleleyo isekelwe kwibali lokwenyani likamama ongumKatolika ozelwe eIreland onabantwana abalishumi uEvelyn Ryan, othathwe kwincwadi ebhalwe yintombi yakhe uTerry "Tuff" Ryan.
UJulianne Moore Ujongene nokutolika u-Evelyn Ryan, onokuthi abhengezwe njengokwasemthethweni emva kokunyamezela umyeni wakhe osisiyatha nonxilileyo (uWoody Harrelson), emkhulise ngaphezu kosapho olukhulu ngokuthatha inxaxheba kumabonwakude nakukhuphiswano lokushicilela.
Kwiminyaka yama-50s neye-60s, ukhuphiswano lukamabonakude noshicilelo lwalusanda apho kwakufuneka uqambe ingoma okanye umbongo nalapho wawunokuphumelela ukusuka kwizipho ezimbalwa, ukuya kwiidola ezimbalwa, kwanamakhitshi, iimoto kunye nohambo.
Ngaloo ndlela, u-Evelyn Ryan, wabaleka kubomi bakhe obubuhlungu ebukele umabonwakude kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba kulo lonke ukhuphiswano oluwela ezandleni zakhe. Ukongeza, uthatha inxaxheba kunye nawo onke amagama entsapho yakhe, ukusuka kumyeni wakhe ukuya kubantwana.
Xa kuziwa ekudluliseleni konke oku kwisikrini, kubonakala ngathi sijongene nentsomi apho ukwenza okulungileyo kuhlala kuvuzwa. Ngaloo ndlela, nanini na uEvelyn eneengxaki zokuhlawula ityala, ufumana ibhaso lokhuphiswano kanye ngexesha lokucombulula iingxaki zakhe.
Kwelinye icala, indoda esisidenge, esela utywala kakhulu kuba ingakwazi ukunika intsapho yayo oko ingathanda, idlalelwa. Woody Harrelson kodwa kunoko kubonakala ngathi uphosa isikrufu endaweni yokuba linxila.
UJulianne Moore uyayifeza indima yakhe yokuba ngumama ozinikeleyo ngenxa yabantwana bakhe nangona, kule mihla, kubonakala kunzima ukuba umfazi anyamezele umyeni onjalo, kodwa kwakungamanye amaxesha lawo.
