Naturellement
Lucie Clayssen
Baptiste Chabauty, Hugo Dillon
Maya, 28, has to face it: she can’t carry a child. However, a miracle happens: she gets pregnant. It’s most likely her only chance, yet she hesitates. With a clever lightness, Naturally deals with the intimate conflict of a modern woman, between her strive for freedom and the weight of maternal responsibilities. A feminist film engaging with the gender: what does it take to be a woman and not a man?
