Stork Dreams

Based on her own experience, which she extends through the testimonies of other infertile people, director Élodie Lélu shows how Medically Assisted Reproduction modifies the relationship with the body and the imaginary. The MAP process constantly exposes patients to photographs in the form of ultrasound scans or captured images taken under a microscope. But what to do with these images? How do you live with these very definite representations that upset the imaginary of procreation, an act that, by its very nature, belongs to the intimacy of bodies? These are the questions raised by this mischievous documentary, which mixes family archives, scientific images and a whole range of intriguing images that put the dream back where science gives everything (too much) to see.
