What happens

Maman ! est un court métrage français réalisé par Hélène de Fougerolles et sorti en 2010. La joie de Léa, trentenaire, de mettre au monde son premier enfant cède la place au désarroi, confrontée, dès l'accouchement et jusqu'aux mois consécutifs, à son incapacité à gérer des situations inattendues contrairement à ce qu'elle avait (idéalement) imaginé, d'autant plus que ses proches ne lui sont pas d'un grand secours...
