Bivši BBC-jev novinar Martin Sixsmith, ki je nedavno izgubil službo pri laburistični vladi, razmišlja, kako bi spet spravil na noge svojo kariero. Na neki zabavi mu natakarica pove o svoji materi Philomeni, ki so ji katoliške nune pred petdesetimi leti kot 'padli ženski' vzele otroka in ga dale v posvojitev. Sixsmith sprva pokaže le malo zanimanja za to na videz trivialno tabloidno zgodbo, a ker mu ne preostane nič drugega, se cinični časnikar odloči za srečanje s Philomeno. Ko ga očarljiva stara gospa, ki rada prebira Readers Digest in gleda TV-serije, zaprosi za pomoč pri iskanju sina, je Sixsmith preprosto ne more zavrniti ...

Originalni opis filma:

When former journalist Martin Sixsmith is dismissed from the Labour Party in disgrace, he is at a loss as to what do. That changes when a young Irish woman approaches him about a story of her mother, Philomena, who had her son taken away when she was a teenage inmate of a Catholic convent. Martin arranges a magazine assignment about her search for him that eventually leads to America. Along the way, Martin and Philomena discover as much about each other as about her son's fate. Furthermore, both find their basic beliefs challenged.
