As a film about fertility Water Children is an ode to womanhood and the body Filmmaker Aliona van der Horst followed the trail of the unconventional DutchJapanese pianist and artist Tomoko Mukaiyama who made a huge work of art on the theme of womanhood and fertility She created a cathedrallike space out of twelve thousand white silk dresses in which visitors as in a ritual roamed around and fell silent And where people confessed intimate details about children who were or were not born about sexuality and lifechoices This resulted in a majestic epic about motherhood miscarriages and menopause In a visual and poetic way the film penetrates into what is probably still one of the greatest of taboos menstruation and as a consequence touches upon universal themes around life and death
