Plot
Maggie is one of life's victims, a foul-mouthed cow with a history of violent relationships and four kids, all in care. A chance for fresh happiness comes when she meets gentle and supportive Jorge, a Paraguayan living in London, and becomes pregnant through him....but the system which has already labelled her threatens to snatch all away. A powerful, gritty and thought-provoking docu-drama which won 2 awards at the Berlin International Film Festival.
