Filles de nos mères
Spanning three generations, the women in my family let me film them and root out the hidden side of our relationships. From mother to daughter, from them to me. “- You were a mother who suffered’ – It was not intentional! And yet, as a child and teenager, I rejected that image. – You left home very early. – Yes, at 12 years old, I rejected the image of my mother who accepted everything… the image of the local women who were always complaining’ Have I reproduced that? If so, it’s because women’s condition boils down to that! (We laugh) No, I don’t think so. But yet it’s something that’s got into our way of thinking and comes from way back. And we had to… Maybe the generation after us, your generation, or even that of my young sisters, maybe something radically changed with the girls who said ‘That’s enough’!’ – But why didn’t you say that? And why did they? – Ask them'”
