Transformation

by Henriette Rietz

POSTPARTUM describes the chaotic phase of life in which the protagonist finds herself after becoming a mother for the first time. Pumped up with hormones and lacking sleep, this intense phase has burned deep into her heart. The overwhelming and absurd first days are narrated as snippets of thoughts and visualised by short animations. The mother dreams that she should feed her baby with »Mett« (ground pork) and she wonders whether breastfeeding mothers will survive the longest when the apocalypse is imminent, because they could feed themselves.
