Le Tété

Directed by Valerie-Malin Schmid

Told from the perspective of a child, the film uses poetic images to tell the intimate process of weaning between Laurence and her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Umae. The film not only touches on profound themes relating to the physical and emotional aspects of motherhood, but also raises the question of the extent to which raising children is the task and responsibility of a larger community.
