STILL HERE
is a film about a woman's fear of not wanting to have children.
Triggers in her environment often remind her of the importance of motherhood as part of a woman's
existence.
We are told this is the natural function of a woman - biologically, philosophically and
culturally.
What happens when a woman chooses not to have children?
Is it possible to express this wish without receiving unwanted comments of anger, pride or apathy?
In this film, we journey through the different parts of this realization - the emotional gravity of the decision,
the confrontation between the woman and her surroundings, and facing and demystifying fear.
The film uncovers the frustration felt by women who have chosen to not have children and feel
paralyzing judgement that discourages open and honest conversation.
