Pregnancy and childbirth constitute a series of personal moments and when you experience them for the first time, you find yourself examining your fears and facing everything you have so far always taken for granted. Your body, your health, your environment, the people close to you. “My First Time” is a film about pregnancy. It’s about how a woman feels when she enters into that particular period in her life when adversities, emotion and new experiences overwhelm her. It’s about all the things for which you cannot find the answers in books but that pregnant women share with each other. The film’s backbone is the personal diary of the director and her “first time” experience with child bearing. Agony, instinct, logic and the subconscious are the ingredients of an explosive cocktail in a body that is constantly changing. The director videotapes herself and at the same time another four women looking for answers to her queries. Iro, Angeliki, Joyce and Anna constitute different aspects of a modern woman. The questions are many: How does one deal today with the desire to have a child? What are constituent elements of that notorious term “motherhood”? Can one really prepare for the new role, that of a parent? How do men handle the miracle of “waiting for baby”? How do women balance their many attributes? Are they members of the workforce or mothers? What are the different models that exist for childbirth?
