Someone Lost(2019)

Someone Lost is a Portuguese drama series that explores the devastating aftermath of tragedy and the dangerous lengths a family will go to heal. Madalena, a powerful healthcare entrepreneur, carries crushing guilt over her grandson João's death in a pool accident on her watch. The tragedy sends her daughter Leonor into a spiral of grief and self-destruction, threatening her marriage to Bruno and her career. Compounded by her inability to carry pregnancies to term, Leonor sees a glimmer of hope when Madalena offers to serve as a surrogate through artificial insemination. What begins as an act of maternal love becomes something far darker and illegal, unraveling the family in ways no one anticipated. The series examines how grief distorts judgment and how the bonds between mother and daughter can become twisted by desperation and unresolved trauma.
