Crotch Stories

You will give birth in pain. Why? Are there other stories? In order to answer these questions, the filmmaker talks to women who professionally assist women giving birth or who have given birth themselves. Captured with a lavish palette of animation and playful stop-motion, Crotch Stories attempts to show how birth in fact does not always rhyme with pain, and thereby transmit a new imaginary: women who are on their way to reclaiming their bodies and their labours.
