DIRECTORS STATEMENT
"Germany has one of the lowest birthrates in the world. Women have the right to choose motherhood or not. Nevertheless, there is an expectation from society for women to have children, to raise a family.
For female directors, Merle Grimme and Felizitas Hoffmann, both 27 years old, the question "Do you want to have children?" is asked more than ever... With an increasing intensity. But what does it mean to become a mother? What are the consequences for a woman? Are there negative aspects to motherhood? And what if it turns out not to be the most fulfilling thing in life?
As in many countries, motherhood is something sacred to the German people. This makes it almost impossible to question the status quo, for women to speak openly and honestly about what it means to be a mother. In 2015 a conversation opened up throughout the country, about 'Regretting Motherhood'. This is the first documentary approaching this important debate, giving women a platform to talk freely and anonymously about their feelings and experiences."
