"Maternité is a film about the fatigue of a mother of two small kids. The act of self-sacrifice for the sake of a child that absorbs all the time and leaves no space neither for consumption, nor for satisfactions or 

vanity, becomes a chance for a devoted woman in a condition of the physical and emotional exhaustion to reach the 

transcendental state close to spiritual ecstasy. Lacking resources for a proper functioning, her organism starts disassociating information and  enters into a seeming madness, when the brain is unable to control thought process as usual, and because of a total  focus solely on a child, all the rest in the world ceases to be of any  importance, freeing her from everything excessive and superfluous."
