Mother
India2020animated5'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2021)
Unexpectedly, joyful scenes of children playing and dancing turn into an account of traumatic memories from the past. Mother, who was once circumcised, must perform the same procedure on her daughter. Will she be able to defy the tradition? The animation, referring to the style of children’s fairy tales, presents the problem afflicting many girls worldwide and points out how difficult it is to reject the rituals and stand up to your community. The circle of life is transformed into the circle of suffering, passed on from one generation to the next.
