Leda is devoted to her work as an English teacher and to her two children.
When her daughters leave home to be with their father in Canada, Leda anticipates a period of loneliness and longing.
Instead, slightly embarrassed by the sensation, she feels liberated, as if her life has become lighter, easier.She decides to take a holiday by the sea, in a small coastal town in southern Italy.
But after a few days of calm and quiet, things begin to take a menacing turn.
Leda encounters a family whose brash presence proves unsettling, at times even threatening.
When a small, apparently meaningless, event occurs, Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult and unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family.
The seemingly serene tale of a woman's pleasant rediscovery of herself soon becomes the story of a ferocious confrontation with an unsettled past.
The Lost Daughter is a compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood, exploring the conflicting emotions that tie us to our children.
