Under the shade of a Magnolia tree, a group of pregnant women sit with Teresa, an expert midwife who listens to them. In a circle, their voices intertwine; doubts and fears turn into shared strength. The film follows the women in collective and intimate moments, exploring motherhood and the need for community. Tempo d’Atessa reflects on the evolution of motherhood and the changing condition of women today.

Curatorial note:

A group of women is guided toward motherhood by Teresa, an obstetrician who turns this journey of transformation into a lens through which to observe the female condition and rewrite its needs and desires. The filmmaker’s camera portrays, with respect and complicity, both the collective moments and the intimacy of prenatal visits and births. Fears and uncertainties intertwine in a unique story about hope and courage that prepares us for those first moments when birth redefines a woman’s identity. Florencia Santucho
