“Puerperium” is the story of a conflict. When opposing tendencies exist in the mother-child fusion, tendencies capable of testing the deepest, most intimate human relationship to the limit.

The moment when a newly born seeks the proximity of a figure to attach themselves to but the circumstances of modern life impede or prevent this, the deepest, most conflictive feelings arise, paving the ground for unhealthy social and emotional development.

Love, anger, frustration, desire, joy, anguish... overflow savagely and organically at this time. Who can escape the imprint of this?
