Mothering Sunday
Movie • 2021
ReportSynopsis
Set over a day in 1924, the story follows Jane Fairchild, a maid in the Niven household, who has the day off to celebrate Mothering Sunday while Mr. and Mrs. Niven attend a lunch to celebrate the engagement of their neighbour’s only remaining son, Paul, to Emma Hobday. Jane rejoices at her freedom on an unseasonably hot, beautiful spring day. But, she has no mother to go to. For almost seven years she has – joyfully and without shame – been Paul’s lover. Like the Nivens, Paul belongs to England’s old money aristocracy, whereas Jane was orphaned at birth. With the house conveniently empty, they can finally meet in Paul’s bedroom for the first time. Today will be their last as lovers. It is also the day that will mark the beginning of Jane’s transformation as the story unfolds through the hours of clandestine passion.

No, but a character does imply that a car accident might have been a suicide.

No drugs, but there is an era-appropriate amount of cigarette smoking (lots).

Not a "kid" strictly speaking, but a grown child of two of the characters. And a pervasive theme of the movie is just how many people lost their children/loved ones during World War I.

Sort of. Paul is engaged to marry Emma while he has an affair with Jane, but he's marrying out of a sense of duty.

No, but semen is shown on bed linens, and blood on clothing in the aftermath of sex.
