Lemonade

Synopsis

Mara, a young Romanian woman, has just moved to the United States with her nine-year-old son Dragos and married Daniel, an American man she met a few months earlier. The film follows her through a series of telling events, from difficulties finding childcare and her unplanned, uncomfortable encounters with an employee at the U.S. immigration office to an incident with a police officer after leaving her son alone in a motel room, as well as the challenges at the bank when she and her husband apply for a loan.
