Cueilli sous le bananier

Directed by Laura Kamugisha

Produced as part of the Regard sur Montréal Film Residency, this short film of dreamlike visual poetry brings together the experiences of motherhood shared by several women. In an intimate setting, the camera carefully captures telling and symbolic details in the interactions between mothers and children. The mothers’ testimonies offer a moving reflection on the transformative impact of giving birth and raising a child, as well as on childhood itself and the process of lifelong learning. A film of tender warmth marked by a remarkable and refreshing sincerity.
