From the mak­ers of Hook, Line & Sinker and Tak­ing the Wae­wae Express comes a new female-cen­tred sto­ry rich in dra­ma and emo­tion. Two first time moth­ers, Bun­ny (Miria­ma McDow­ell) and Aila (Renee Lyons) end up shar­ing a room in a post-natal ward after the birth of their babies. A pre­car­i­ous friend­ship devel­ops between them as they face the chal­lenges of new moth­er­hood. They must also con­front their pasts and the truth of the pater­ni­ty of their new­born babies. Babies and absent fathers, opera and drag rac­ing, gar­den­ing and Schu­bert, The great maid­en’s blush is a sto­ry of friend­ship, for­give­ness and the redemp­tive pow­er of truth.
