A Story About Men and the Women Who Raised Them.

In this compelling portrait of the love between tough guys and their mothers, the only people stronger than the men are the women who raised them. These men come from all walks of life from a war veteran and a prison inmate to a cowboy preacher and a district attorney. Their mothers are just as complicated: spunky, resilient, demanding, generous, and iconoclastic. As these mothers and sons discuss their deepest feelings, the director's compassionate observation reveals the universality that underlies this most particular relationship.
