Written by: Carla Simón
Plot
Carla is pregnant and naked, imitating the poses her mother took when she was pregnant with her. Sunlight filters through the windows.
Sinekatalog’s take
Pregnant and naked in the sunlight, the filmmaker imitates the poses her own mother once struck, linking three generations in a few quiet minutes. It is intimate, simple and tender. A lovely short for anyone who likes personal, image-driven cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
