Movie Synopsis:
About to give birth to her own child, Naomi Kawase turns her camera back on to her adoptive mother and great-aunt in this riveting examination of family, motherhood and the female body.
An intensely intimate and candid film, Birth/Mother captures images of her great-aunt's ageing body while Kawase reflects on her own journey to becoming a mother.
The film offers a more complex portrayal of the relationship between the two women than Kawase's earlier shorts, but the connection between them remains undeniable.
