Bassett), Gillian (Patricia Arquette) and Helen (Felicity Huffman)
decide to drive to New York to reconnect with their adult sons, and in the process they realize their sons are not the only ones whose lives need to change. A journey to relate becomes a journey of rediscovery that forces these women to redefine their relationships with their children, friends, spouses and most importantly, themselves.
Otherhood premieres 2 August on Netflix.
00:01 What son forgets Mother's Day?
00:02 Yeah, buy me some bath salts. Is that so difficult?
00:05 I would like one Mother's Day card.
00:07 A candle. Something.
00:08 At this stage, it doesn't feel like motherhood.
00:10 It feels like otherhood.
00:11 That is the best description I have ever heard.
00:14 What are we gonna do,
00:15 drive to Manhattan, storm their apartments?
00:17 Nah, we gotta let them individuate.
00:21 Except, it's Mother's Day.
00:28 We're not on vacation.
00:30 We are on a mission.
00:32 We are going to reconnect with our sons.
00:34 Don't take no for an answer. Make him love you!
00:37 -Mom. -Mom.
00:38 Surprise!
00:40 Hey, Mom!
00:44 You didn't call me on Mother's Day.
00:46 -I texted you. -I birthed you.
00:48 They can deal with having us in their homes for a few days.
00:51 They were in ours for 18 years.
00:53 It's like you're living in Gollum's cave.
00:55 Ma--
00:56 Are you cooking?
00:58 -Want to meet me after work? -I have a party tonight.
01:01 -Are mothers invited? -No.
01:03 I mean, no.
01:06 We're in the middle of New York City
01:07 and we are going clubbing.
01:09 I didn't go clubbing
01:10 when I was supposed to go clubbing.
01:11 Would we even get in to a club?
01:13 Well, I didn't think I'd get into these jeans, and...
01:16 look at me now.
01:17 -What is that move? -Twerking.
01:21 You know who you are without me.
01:23 I need to figure out who I am without you.
01:29 Where have you been hiding those?
01:35 This big, bruised, beautiful thing,
01:37 this is your life.
01:38 I'm not going to tell you what to do.
01:40 -Since when? -Since today.
01:44 You taught me there is room in every story
01:49 for a better ending.
01:50 You will always be my mother.
01:52 Thanks, Ma.
01:55 Do you know how long it's been since I've had--
01:59 -Sex? -I was gonna say pizza.
