MOTHERTONGUE

MOTHERTONGUE Synopsis

Mothertongue is a dance film that sheds light on the shared and personal experiences of parenthood. It speaks truthfully to the often dark and multilayered narratives, whilst celebrating the sheer power and moments of incomparable joy. It seeks to challenge the expectations of how a mother can behave, and explores the often unspoken emotions, unpaid labour, physical transitions, guilt, rage, sexuality, isolation and unrealistic expectations. It is intimate, contradictory and unapologetic.

MOTHERTONGUE is a music film directed by Darcy Wallace with a runtime of 7m. It stars Temitope Ajose-Cutting, Steph McMann and Hannah Shepherd.
