My Body's Body

Film mediates certain kind of mental space of timelessness. At the edge somewhere unfolds maternal body. Images and sounds of the first months after author gave birth to her children constitutes film's distinctive language. Thus film confrontates habitual ways of imaging and understanding maternity with personal experience. From this point it is possible to approach reality of new life and motherhood. Space between mother's love and lactation psychosis is pervaded by intimacy and fragility on its own. Microevent in each scene contrasts with toughness of static time framed into white winter landscape. Thus film speaks about something profoundly basic.
