La Lupa

Overview

LA LUPA is a documentary that explores the different experiences of motherhood. Some personal adversities reveal the director the desire to be a mother but at the same time they boots her to interpellate and deconstruct herself. Her search develops in the international context of a new feminist wave. Identified with a gender perspective, she travels through three countries that influenced her: her homeland, Argentina, Italy and the country of her maternal grandparents, Norway. In this sentimental journey, she focus in the dominant patriarchal system, contrasting the cultural differences in the role of women, the social realities that propitiate or diminish family development and the encounter with women who inhabit motherhood in different ways, discovering in the nature of a winding and rhizomatic journey to find her own way.

Directed by Marina Zeising
