Tua Madre

Can you have a child without becoming a mother?

Overview

What is a mother? When 25-year-old Dania discovers she is pregnant, she decides to turn her uncertainty into a film. Meeting women of different ages, backgrounds, and perspectives, she explores how each of them lives or has chosen not to live motherhood. "Tua Madre" is both a personal and collective journey through fears, desires, and imposed roles. It challenges the idealized, socially mandated image of the mother, using irony and sensitivity to investigate the lights and shadows of this enduring myth.
