five wolves is the first film by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa (Barakaldo, 1978), and it talks about motherhood, communication and family relationships and demystifies this idealization, especially for first-timers: “Motherhood is a complex experience.” The filmmaker, in an interview with eitb.eus in May, stated that she works “looking for a lot of naturalness, a lot of organization and a lot of truth”.
“Motherhood and fatherhood are an experience with many layers and that automatically led me to explore family relationships, cycle changes and roles in the family. From the first moment I wanted to make a faithful and honest story with the reality of many women,” explains Ruiz de Azúa.
“Cinco lobitos” was conceived in Ruiz de Azúa’s head six years ago, when she had her first baby: “It’s not autobiographical, but I always include some of my personal experience in the projects. I realized that, in certain aspects of motherhood, there was a lack of story. And from there to reflect on the family and the relationship with my parents there was only one step, “affects the director.
Amaia (actress Laia Costa) has just had a child and practically takes care of him alone while her partner, Javi (Mikel Bustamante) works. She has no help and feels suffocated, so she decides to move to her parents’ house in a small coastal town in the Basque Country to escape the vicious circle in which she finds herself trapped and share the responsibility of caring for her.
