Directed by Leonard Nimoy, the film stars Diane Keaton and Liam Neeson in the leading roles.

The Good Mother explores feelings and beliefs about children's exposure to adult sexuality and challenges society's growing reliance upon courts to settle complex private and ethical matters.

[1] Anna Dunlap (Keaton), is a Boston piano teacher, working part-time at a college laboratory who recently divorced her husband Brian (James Naughton) and has custody of her six-year-old daughter Molly (Asia Viera).

Soon, Anna meets and falls in love with Leo (Neeson), a sexually liberated Irish sculptor who changes her perspective on life.

Leo explains he thought it was in keeping with Anna's parenting, since she had bathed with Molly and was very open with her.
