Mama Pulpo
A clown opens the doors of her daily life showing her transition to motherhood, letting us see the chaos that inhabits her.
From the deepest love to disconsolate crying, from calm to intensity in seconds.
Balancing her new emotions on a fine
tightrope. Funny and as unstable as her new being: being a mother.
