Haunted by generational trauma and the prospect of an unwanted pregnancy, young lawyer escapes to 'Eden,' a secluded women's community, where she must confront her deepest fears about motherhood and find healing amidst the powerful bond of sisterhood.

SYNOPSIS:

When thirty-year-old Anna escapes the city and arrives at a secluded village called Eden, she carries more than just a suitcase—she carries a pregnancy she never planned, and a pain she can’t name. Welcomed by Ewa, a wise midwife who turned her back on the medical system to create a sanctuary for women, Anna begins a journey that challenges everything she believes about motherhood, womanhood, and healing.

Haunted by Blanka—an internal voice echoing generations of shame and fear—Anna finds herself among women who have also come to Eden to recover, give birth, or simply exist on their own terms. As the days unfold in a rhythm of ritual, community, and unspoken understanding, Anna witnesses a birth that transforms her. In the sacred act of helping another woman bring life into the world, she begins to reclaim her own.

But her transformation is not physical—Anna loses the child growing inside her. Yet in this loss, she finds something unexpected: peace, strength, and a deep sense of belonging. And when a young girl named April chooses her without question, Anna understands that motherhood can take many forms—and that healing is possible, even when the world says otherwise.

Mama is a deeply emotional, visually poetic short film about the quiet revolution of female solidarity, the right to choose, and the power of community care. It’s a story for every woman who ever felt alone in her body, in her grief, or in her joy.
