Maternity is instinctive or is it a social construction? How can a period surrounded by expectations of happiness and achievement be, at the same time, such an anticlimax, so exhausting and melancholy? A director-mother talks to other mothers about the maternal instinct, guilt and loneliness, reflecting on the complexities and riches of maternity.
