Two Women is the heartrending drama centered on a widow named Cesira (Sophia Loren) and her thirteen-year-old daughter Rosetta (Eleonora Brown). Left to fend for themselves in war-ravaged Italy, Cesira and Rosetta are homeless, penniless, and must fight to survive on the dangerous streets of their war-torn homeland. After the two women endure a devastating attack by a group of Moroccan soldiers, they discover their relationship is evolving, and when they both fall for the same man, their mother-daughter bond is irrevocably altered. This is the story of survival, strength, love, and loss - the enduring tale of Two Women. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
