An average of 400 children are born in Nicaragua every day, 100 of them to adolescent mothers. This documentary narrates the lives of three adolescents, aged 14 to 16, who had not planned to be mothers at such an early age. Florence Jaugey follows the lives of these young mothers for several months – during the last months of their pregnancies, and afterwards, when everything has irreversibly changed. We learn about their families, their stories of love, their doubts, their hopes and the tough reality they went through in their pregnancy and the prospect of having to raise their children. Jaugey builds up a very intimate relationship with her protagonists, detecting their moods and showing how their outward coolness is only a facade behind which they conceal their intricate fears. Along with exposing the alarmingly increasing numbers of adolescent mothers in Nicaragua, the film also raises fundamental questions about women’s identity and the meaning of maternity. |
