Concept of a Happy Mom

Henriette Rietz // Germany // 2023 // 04:39 min

Documentary, Experimental

Synopsis:
Stock footage of "happy" families conjures canned warmth, while the inner monologues of overworked mothers intone off-screen. Tremendous meme fodder – if it weren't so serious. [CW: self harm, depression]
