The May Lady

This beautiful, lyrical movie takes the viewer into the mind of an intellectual, intelligent woman and the way life as a mother, a woman and a professional feels to her. The internal struggle of the protagonist, which is universal and gender-blind, is made very palpable by the quite, intimate atmosphere of the movie, the great cinematography and the fantastic cast. The main character of the movie is a film maker, and the footage she takes for a future movie is very effectively used to explore the different aspects of the dilemma facing her: where should one draw the line between one's individuality and the relationships with beloved ones? Through ostensible interviews with various women, the movie explores the range of answers given to this question in a touching, intelligent way.
