However, disappointed by how complex and expensive this process is, she decides to turn to theatre practice as a way to denounce what she went through. The rehearsals and the scenes from the play show how Pinheiro tells her story using parody as the driving force to make this hidden reality visible.
The film’s title aptly captures the essence of Pinheiro’s life-altering affliction and the tragic circumstances she endured. It sheds light on the importance of consent and the fallacies surrounding surgical procedures, highlighting a little-known subject matter.
Despite its educational approach, the film is not without light-hearted moments. Pinheiro’s use of puppetry and mocking the surgical instruments during the labor delivery adds a touch of humor, providing a respite from the gravity of the subject matter.
Pérez and Pinheiro deserve high praise for their efforts in shining a spotlight on this often overlooked issue. The film’s production in the Galician language, along with the animation by Borja Santomé, further enhances the storytelling, immersing the viewer in Pinheiro’s world.
This documentary is a powerful and important film that raises awareness about the lack of consent surrounding medical procedures. Pérez’s direction, coupled with Pinheiro’s personal account and the film’s light-hearted moments, make it a compelling and thought-provoking watch.
