‘Lollipop’ features an all-female cast and a powerhouse performance from Posy Sterling (‘The Outrun’). She plays Molly, a single mum, who gets out of prison to find her mother has handed her two young children over to social services.

The film also features some incredible performances by ‘non-actors’, notably Idil Ahmed as Amina, Molly’s only friend and her ally in the fight to reclaim her children.

The film’s producers describe ‘Lollipop’ as a drama “about our capacity for joy even in life’s hardest moments, about finding strength through sisterhood and what it means to have the unwavering courage to fight for your family.”
