Yummy Mummy

A BFI NETWORK funded film produced by DreamMore Films

ABOUT THE FILM

Lilith is being taken over from the inside… disappearing from the world. Slowly, but surely, her family and friends and medical professionals stop listening to her, stop hearing her, stop seeing her. Ignored more and more in the motherhood process, society’s disregard of Lilith’s desires, and of her own sense of identity begins to have physical manifestations. Lilith begins to fall apart; literally.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Yummy Mummy is an exploration of the loss of identity during pregnancy and early motherhood: When one person becomes two, then attempts to become only one, once again. It highlights the emotional conflict of the mother-and-child symbiosis, and the mental health struggles a lot of women face when choosing to become mothers.
