Girls to Mothers. Chapters 1 & 2

70 minutos / Betacam SP/NTSC

Synopsis

Three adolescents
Three mothers
Three years of their lives ….

At the beginning of the story, Kenia, Blanca and Viviana were between 14 and 16 years old. They were pregnant and gave birth.

After the camera followed them through that stage, their lives went on. Now, we pick their stories back up from the beginning and continue accompanying to learn how they are.

How are they raising their children? Did their dreams come true? Did they get pregnant again? Do they have support from their partners, their families, society?

These aren’t love stories with a happy ending. They are stories to make you think. And act, since traditional ideas about women’s identity and the meaning of maternity bring us face to face with increasingly urgent questions.
