Quote:
"Focusing on one woman's (Liette Desjardins) experience of pregnancy and motherhood, [Anne Claire] Poirier combines the surreal with the everyday as Liette moves between dream visions and her regular life. It is through the exploration of a woman's physical and mental movement into maternity that a highly transgressive notion of female subjectivity is constructed."
-- Jessica B. Langston
