The girl Philomena became pregnant at a young age, was regarded as an immoral and fallen woman, and was sent to live in a convent. She gave birth to a son there. When his son was three years old, the nuns sold him to the United States for adoption. At that time, thousands of babies had a similar fate. Philomena was forced to sign an agreement not to interfere with the church's dealings. So, for the next fifty years, she never saw her son again, but she never stopped asking about his whereabouts. What Philomena didn't know was that her son had also been looking for her. On the other side of the Atlantic, Philomena's son Mike grew up to become a top lawyer and later held an important position in the ruling party. From an illegitimate child born in a remote monastery to a high-ranking position in the world's most powerful country, Mike is still suffering from not knowing who his birth mother is.
