CHILD’S POSE
POZIȚIA COPILULUI
Child’s Pose presents in a thrilling,
emotional, yet humorous way,
the relationship between a ruling
mother and her grown-up child. It
is a touching film on traumatizing
children while suffocating them with
love and on the marks that parents
leave on their children’s personalities.

Wonderfully surreal, painfully real,
this is the story of children, adults
and animals who live together trying
to have a better life, but sometimes
death comes unexpectedly. It
is a story about us, people who
eat the animals that they love
and the animals that love people
unconditionally.
