Ključna beseda Manchester

Slavni britanski umetnik Laurence Stephen Lowry (1887–1976) je še v odraslih letih živel pri svoji kronično nezadovoljni, zaščitniški in manipulativni materi Elizabeth, do njene smrt leta 1939. Zlovoljna in na posteljo prikovana Elizabeth je vztrajno skušala sina odvrniti od slikarskih ambicij, pri čemer mu nikoli ni pozabila pritrditi, kako razočarana je nad njim. Lowry je podnevi pobiral najemnine, ob večerih pa skrivaj obiskoval slikarski tečaj in potem vse noči do zgodnjih jutranjih ur slikal. Film spremlja Lowryja na začetkih kariere, ko si prizadeva uveljaviti kot umetnik v Londonu in širše. Kmalu postane očitno, da je prezirljiva mati njegova največja ovira na poti k uspehu in ne pomanjkanje nadarjenosti. Vendar je prav Elizabeth obenem tudi edini razlog, da Lowry sploh slika, saj si umetnik obupano želi ustvariti karkoli, kar bi jo osrečilo.
