Rodrigo Garcia’s Mother And Child scooped the top prize at the 36th Deauville American Film Festival at the weekend.

The jury, headed by Emmanuelle Beart, chose the drama from a field of 12 films, including eight which premiered in the French seaside resort.

Mother And Child looks at how adoption affects the lives of three women.

Annette Bening plays Karen, who at 14 became pregnant and was forced to give the baby up for adoption.

Thirty-five years later her daughter Elizabeth, played by Australian actress Naomi Watts, is a successful lawyer who tries to trace her biological mother when she falls pregnant.

And Kerry Washington plays Lucy, who sees her dream of adopting a child finally come true.
