Key Quote: “I think what I wanted to express [was] there is a journey that you go on as a new mum. It’s beautiful, you see the world in a wholly different way some of the time because you see the world through the baby’s eyes and I really wanted to bring that to the film. But there’s also a shift of self. You change from having a kid, and sometimes that can be discombobulating and you have to find yourself in a different way again.” – Mahalia Belo.
