Mothers and Monsters
A film by Édith Jorisch
Canada, 2023, 16'
Tokophobia – fear of childbirth
For a very special celebration, a host-mother has gathered mothers and their perfect children for a great banquet which is suddenly disrupted by strange disturbances. What is hiding behind the scenes of this perfect, ideal world? A surrealist satire about modern-day maternity and the concept of family at a time where capitalism has reached its climax.
