I Don’t Want to Be a Mother
July 21, 2025
"You have a uterus, use it!" It’s an outrageous statement. Or is it outrageous NOT to have children? The film follows young women who’ve made a conscious decision not to have children.
Where does the image of women asmothers originate and how has it changed over the centuries?
The film reflects on times when a woman without children was considered worthless to society, on decades when two German states each fought for more offspring in different ways, and shows the current situation.
What has changed? Who decides on family planning today? And how does this impact modern society?
