Mother's Instinct

Cecilia Rodriguez thought she understood the boundaries of surrogacy—until her bond with her unborn child became unbreakable, changing everything. Caught between the legal framework she agreed to and the overwhelming pull of maternal instincts, Cecilia embarks on an emotional journey that takes her from the comfort of tranquil shores to the isolation of a run-down motel room. As the moment of birth approaches, Cecilia’s determination to keep her child is put to the ultimate test. With raw emotion and gripping intensity, “Mother Instinct” explores the complexities of surrogacy, the sacrifices of love, and the strength of a mother’s connection to her child. A moving story of resilience, the film examines the delicate line where contracts end and the depths of human emotions begins.
