Moms on Fire
Joanna Rytel
Two women shortly before they are due to give birth: their mood is rock bottom. Now would be time for some fun, but what can you do when you are – yet again – pregnant? Even masturbation is no longer an option at this stage, and you can forget the boyfriend too. The situation is unbearable.
A claymation film that spectacularly depicts a departure from the norm expected from »good mums«.
