The Wife of Them All follows a queer family as they critique and move beyond borders, mad bureaucracy and precarious work. The film lies at the intersection of documentary and science fiction and weaves a heist plot unique in addressing the global fertility market in relation to migratory control. How to visualize technologies of assisted reproduction in relation to all the technologies of non-reproduction that constitute the landscape of reproductive politics in Europe and globally?
The characters are voiced by artists and activists whose work addresses reproductive politics, including Sabrina Michelle Rivera Sanchez (Coordinator at Sexwork Europe, Amsterdam, and member of Otras Sindicato de Trabajadoras Sexuales Spain); Alejandra Durga Ramos (Member of Barcelona’s Sindihogar Union of Domestic Workers) and Pratibha Parmar (UK/US artist and filmmaker).
This animation film resists the seduction of the human face and figure and rather constructs character through texture, voice, relationality and positionally, affirming the "queer network" as both technique and theme.
