The Great Maiden’s Blush  explores the unlikely friendship between two first-time single mothers, one a girl racer, the other a failed classical pianist and gardener, who share a room in a post-natal ward after the birth of their babies. As they face the challenges of new motherhood, they must also face the secrets around the paternity of their infants. Babies and absent fathers, opera and drag-racing, gardening and Schubert are all swept into the drama. The Great Maiden's Blush is a proudly female-centred story exploring territory rich in drama and emotion which has, until now, been completely neglected as powerful screen material.
