Description

When I embark on a new project I think of Paul Haggis when he said “I know I’ve got a story when there’s a question which I can’t easily answer”. The questions inspiring me and around which I’m questioning myself are: “Why am I so frightened of bringing a child into the world?”, “why am I so frightened of saying that I don’t want to bring a child into the world?” and “why do I have to be ashamed today to be a woman without children, to lower my eyes if I’m not a parent?”.
So at a by now advanced age, while the questions I ask myself are these, I notice that my eighty-two year old mother, close to death and now in an advanced state of dementia, has significant urinary incontinence and while I ask myself when and how I will manage to put a nappy on her I understand that I have, in any case, a parental role to perform. That sad human impulse which makes us parents to our parents.
