The story of a young woman with an intellectual disability who wants to be a mother and has to confront her community’s lack of understanding
Cloe is 27, has an intellectual disability and has harboured a deep seated desire since a young age. The lack of understanding from her family, the institution where she lives and her community will lead her to an unprecedented fight for her rights, an awkward rebellion against her unfair situation in which she has lost control of her own body. Cloe will confront the law of men to realise her personal and natural yearning: to get pregnant and have a child. But the journey will make her doubt herself. Would she be a good mother? What is the ability that makes us good parents? Does everyone with children have it? Are all disabled people incapable of coping with maternity?
Mare de Sucre reflects on how as a society we are treating people with functional diversity. The legal system’s control of their bodies and overprotection as an excuse for taking away their freedom to decide.
