Because Today Is Saturday

by Alice Guimarães

Produced by Studio Kimchi

Contact Carlota Pou

carlota@studiokimchi.com

It is Saturday, a day of rest. A woman wakes up early so that she can give herself a birthday present: some time to write. But whenever she has an inspirational moment, it is interrupted by domestic situations that claim her attention: the children, laundry, meals, the husband...  The mental load of those tasks ends up being unbearable and she reaches a breaking point.
