Gabrielle Anwar makes an unforgettable performance as the mother who loses her son and refuses to accept it and then regains him, by personal extreme efforts breaking all laws and barriers, like only a desperate mother can do. Her performance is utterly convincing, but so is also that of all the others - the father, understandable and sympathetic in spite of his obvious transgressions, and the son, Chase Crawford, as her 18-year old son recovered after 14 years. The story touches on the incredible, not any mother would recognize a lost son after 14 years, especially as he was lost in tender childhood, but here motherhood triumphs in supreme intuition. It's a problematic family drama with many debatable issues about fatherhood and motherhood - if father and mother have to separate, who has the right of their son? Motherhood usually wins, but the father is not without a case.
