根据BBC通讯员Martin Sixsmith 2009 年图书 "The Lost Child of Philomena Lee" 改编，讲述了一位爱尔兰老妇寻找少女时期在修道院被迫放弃的儿子的故事。
Accompanying the films remarkable story of Philomenas extraordinary search for her long lost son, is composer Alexandre Desplats emotionally riveting score which evokes the compelling narrative of human love and loss that ultimately celebrates life, showing that there is laughter even in the darkest places. Desplats wide usage of instruments gives the film its emotional resonance with both enchantment and a beautifully touching heart.
Alexandre Desplats score runs a wide spectrum of poignant and dramatic tones, perfectly complimenting the films touching story of a quest filled with laughter and joy that is often underpinned by sadness. The original motion score for Philomena marks the latest collaboration between Desplat and director Stephen Frears, with Desplat having previously created the score for Frears 2006 Academy-nominated film The Queen.
One of the most sought-after composers in the film industry, Paris-born Alexandre Desplat is astonishingly prolific, with almost 150 titles to his credit. He has been Oscar-nominated five times in the past seven years, for Argo, The Kings Speech, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Queen. Other recent credits include Zero Dark Thirty, Renoir, Reality, Rust and Bone, Moonrise Kingdom, A Prophet, and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. His previous collaborations with Stephen Frears include The Queen, Tamara Drewe and Cheri. Desplat has also been nominated for a Golden Globe multiple times, having won in 2007 for his score on the film The Painted Veil as well as being a five-time Grammy nominee, having won Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for The Kings Speech in 2011.
