Director Statement

”Ocean of Mothers" was born from the desire to tell a story that reflects the real experiences of women around the world. Motherhood is universal, but the challenges it brings are often faced in silence. My intention was to create a sensitive portrayal of the emotions and dilemmas that shape contemporary motherhood: insecurities, external and internal pressures, and, above all, the impact of mutual support among women. I believe art has the power to connect and transform.

The film explores themes such as female identity, emotional overload, and the strength of support networks. With an intimate tone, each scene was carefully designed to convey the depth of human relationships. One of the most striking moments brings together two generations in an honest dialogue about their different perspectives on motherhood, revealing universal conflicts and lessons.

I hope this film serves as an invitation to dialogue, highlighting the importance of sisterhood and inspiring reflections on what it means to be a mother in a world of constant change.
