tantrum director Amanda Blue has delivered a stunning portrayal of everyday mothers beauty in the latest Dove execution for the US and Canada.
The film is based on and features the words of a poem, ‘A Mothers Body’, by English beat poet Hollie McNish. The poem was adapted for the screen.
The film captures over the course of a day how a mother uses her body to love, tend and care for her children – it is both extraordinary and life affirming. The subtle message is an important one, suggesting that we appreciate just how magical a mother’s body is and what it enables women to do - by creating and sustaining a whole new generation. This is a film that notices the everyday details of motherhood whilst simultaneously celebrating a woman’s body for all its authentic beauty. Dove is synonymous with skin care and real women. So it is hard to imagine a more perfect film for the brand.
