The film is written by Emmy nominee Alice Birch (Normal People, Succession) and is based on the critically acclaimed and best-selling novella of the same name by Graham Swift.

MOTHERING SUNDAY centres on March 30, 1924 in Beechwood, England. Jane Fairchild (Odessa Young), a maid in the Niven household, has the day off to celebrate Mothering Sunday while Mr. and Mrs. Niven (Colin Firth and Olivia Colman) attend a lunch to celebrate the engagement of their neighbour’s only remaining son, Paul (Josh O’Connor). Although Jane rejoices at her freedom on an unseasonably hot, beautiful spring day, she has no mother to go to—and for almost seven years she has, joyfully and without shame, been Paul’s lover. Like the Nivens, Paul belongs to England’s old- monied social class, whereas Jane was orphaned at birth. With the house conveniently empty, they can finally meet in Paul’s bedroom for the first time. Today will be their last as lovers. It is also the day that will mark the beginning of Jane’s transformation.

Lionsgate Films will be releasing Mothering Sunday in the UK and Ireland sometime in 2021.

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired North America, Latin America, India, Pan Asia (excluding Japan), the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Turkey.
