REVIEWS:
A striking film! A complex and heavy story. But how unusually it is revealed!!! It is the first time I have encountered this — through images, music, rare phrases, and movement, the life and state of women of a whole era is conveyed and revealed in just 10 minutes. Thank you!

Very intense and a bit confusing. I liked the visuals of the factory, but the poetry was a bit too abstract for me to follow completely. It felt more like an art installation you would see in a museum than a movie. Interesting, but you need to be in the right mood for it.

I have never seen industrial machinery used like this before. The directors treat the concrete mixers not as props, but as characters productive organs, as the description says. The sound design is incredible; the resonance of the metal feels ancient. It’s a challenging watch, very abstract, but if you let yourself sink into the atmosphere, it’s rewarding.

Potente. The contrast between the cold, hard concrete mixers and the warm, vulnerable human voice is devastating. Hearing the line 'my mother didn't want to become a mother... a rage with no name' while watching these massive machines turn felt like a physical blow. It reimagines the female body as a factory in a way that is both terrifying and beautiful. A masterpiece of visual poetry.
Sophia Wilson
A visceral experience. The text is very heavy (the transplant of her story within me like an organ) and the dance matches that weight perfectly. It’s not a fun film, but it is deeply affecting. The lighting in the factory creates a cathedral-like atmosphere. It felt like a ritual to release generational trauma.
Alice Baranowsky
Brilliant!! The way it connects the labor of work with the labor of childbirth is so smart. We often talk about bodies as machines, but this film reverses it and makes the machines feel human and tired (a colder fatigue). It is a haunting exploration of what we inherit from our mothers, not just love, but rage and work too.
