A ghost with amnesia, post-apocalyptic bottle collectors, a deconstructed cat, picking at scabs, searching for intimacy, colored pencil abstraction, a need for space, a pop cover of a folk song creates ripples, babies are overwhelming, the definition of plot, and a poem about loneliness during a pandemic.
---
The animated film, POSTPARTUM, is about the chaotic phase in life of a new mother. Pumped up with hormones and lacking sleep, this intense time has burned deep into the protagonist’s heart. This film is an honest and very personal insight into the world of an overwhelmed mother, who seriously thought that parental leave would become a sort of sabbatical.
