SYNOPSIS

Several women share their experiences of motherhood and the recurring challenges they face. Despite differences in time and personality, some things keep coming back: the laundry basket is full. The love for the child is there. And the love for oneself…? *** I’m pregnant. How will my life change? Will I be able to go on living like before, scattered among my thousand time-consuming activities, with the added joy of being a mom? And how do other mothers manage? We dive into the daily life of two very different styles of motherhood: in Belgium with Elodie and Nicky, modern and organized; in Italy with my own mother Maurizia, deeply traditional. And in between Belgium and Italy, there’s me—chaotic and stubborn, caught between my present as a mother and my past as a child. For all mothers: the washing machine hums, water flows, time slips by, the same chores return again and again… and there’s still so much to do. What is expected of me? And what do I want? It seems that whether a mother is from today or yesterday, in Belgium or Italy… she will always find herself under the water, with a machine running. In the end, how do we make it through? Each one of us in her own way.
