“You will give birth in pain.” Why? Are there other narratives? Because birth does not always rhyme with pain, Crotch stories transmits a new imaginary : women who are on their way to reclaiming their bodies and their labors.
With Histoires d’entrejambes, Myleine Guiard-Schmid offers us an opportunity to feel, rather than think about, the autonomy of childbirth. Through the contrast of pixilation and animated painting, we are guided through a dreamlike journey that highlights the testimonies of midwives and people who have given birth. Rhythmed by the waves and sounds of childbirth, the director offers us a poetic exploration of the pain, pleasure and transformation of giving birth. This sensitive and slightly irreverent work inspires us to reclaim our collective power by sharing thousands of crotch stories.
