Synopsis
RAW reveals intimate fragments of three women’s stories whose lives are shaped by surrogacy. By merging the surrogate mother’s emotions, the surrogate child’s memories, and the intended mother’s testimony into a poetic, visual contemplation, the film uncovers the archaeology of the female soul and body. By allowing us to feel what these women feel, RAW brings us closer to what it means to rent one’s body, to long for a child, and to be born within a contract where intimacy and commerce collide.
