Inspired by a real life case in Belgium, Our Children tells the haunting tale of a mother whose desperate struggles with post-natal depression have tragic consequences. Emilie Dequenne (Rosetta) gives a deeply moving performance as Murielle, whose life as a wife and mother to four young children quickly turns sour and she yearns for a new life in Morocco with her husband’s family away from the claustrophobic influence of her husband’s surrogate godfather.
