Agnes, a teacher from the Hessian provinces, has come to Berlin to identify a dead girl who might be Lydia, her runaway daughter. It turns out not to be Lydia, but Agnes stays in the city anyway. Still frantically looking for her missing daughter, she comes across a young stray called Ines, who no longer leaves her side.

精选短评：透过两个角色的彼此对抗、依赖和认同来细致探讨母女冲突的实质，但两人并不是血缘关系上的母女。这种错位/替换的人物关系使角色从彼此身上获得一种短暂的幻像，作为临时互相安慰和依赖的对象。叙事的环形结构似乎指向了当代女性的困境，从《时日》里的反叛女孩，到《麦当娜》里的未婚妈妈，她们都有可能成为《女儿们》里的街头流浪者。
