Stella

Stella

She sacrificed her own dreams to make her daughter's dreams come true.

1990109 min5.8 / 10

A melodramatic portrait of maternal sacrifice and class conflict, centered on a working-class mother's struggle to give her daughter a better life despite their fractured bond.

Barmaid Stella Claire and blueblood Stephen Dallas have very little in common -- except they've fallen in love. When their relationship fails, Stella decides to raise the child they had, Jenny, alone. But Jenny and Stella are far from the perfect mother-daughter pair.
