Le mythe de la bonne mère

In most cultures, the mother is expected to be the embodiment of goodness, compassion, sacrifice, selflessness, self-giving, gentleness, and morality. The documentary Le mythe de la bonne mère (The Myth of the Good Mother) offers a reflection on the role of the mother today and how it has evolved over time. The role of the mother, like her image, has changed over the last century. Influenced by major wars and multiple cultural revolutions, motherhood has gradually become sacred. Does the concept of the good mother exist? What if motherhood were simply an instinct, present in mothers to varying degrees?
