Four women, separated by class, politics, race, and religion find their lives intersecting during a fateful ride on the New York subway. A cast of indie darlings (including Rory Culkin and Kate Lyn Sheil) help flesh out this stylistically brilliant and psychologically penetrating portrait of women on the verge of personal transformation. Universal in scope and urgent in its timing, MATERNA weaves a breathtaking tapestry of both womanhood and motherhood in the 21st century.
