The Saint Has Lost Her Patience

Synopsis

The ten minute colour short film is a surreal document of women's experiences when facing mother-hood and family life in a tailor made male orientated society. Using the Spanish Holy Week Processions as a scenario, the film recreates a very special parade where a woman goes (carried on an Easter throne) through seven of the most significant moments of her life.
