CGiii Comment

With a nod in its title to Agnès Varda – and her tribute to second-wave feminism– this is the story of two best friends whose relationship is disrupted when one of them, Tirza, unintentionally becomes pregnant leading the other, Dani, to suggest that she have the child and that they raise it alongside Dani’s partner, Reta. The controversy sparked by this multi-parent arrangement among those close to them fuels the political vein of a film unafraid to explore topics such as reproductive justice and queer family models. In the first documentary and autobiographical fiction by the Swiss-Polish filmmaker Emilie Girardin, dancer Tirza Ben Zvi and actress Daniela Castillo Toro (awarded at BAFICI for Kingdoms) lead a cast involved in plot and dialogue writing – a collective effort for what Marina Garcés calls “presenting the body” to start thinking critically.
