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.
