Trial Period

Drama125 min

A working single mother’s life is thrown off balance when her inquisitive son decides he needs a new father and proposes a 30-day trial run. What begins as a child’s blunt, practical idea quickly presses on larger questions about family, boundaries, and the cost of trying to fit a missing role on demand. Violet Batista and Spencer Bellamy are among the central faces in a story built around the mother-son dynamic, with the emotional strain coming from everyday choices rather than big plot turns. The setup keeps its focus on consequences: what a child asks for, and what an adult can actually promise.
