The film centers on the theme of motherhood, conveying the duality of solace and angst with carrying a new life. It’s an intimate yet melancholic journey told through movement, long visual takes and kinetic soundscape. The experience emphasizes the unspoken difficulties faced from sleepless nights to dissociation to loss of personal freedom and identity.
My intention is not to romanticize motherhood but to validate the complexities.
Directed by Sandy Ismail (USA)
