Using the example of her own artificially inseminated pregnancy, Emilie Jouvet presents the difficulties faced by queer people who wish to have children in France. This movie proposes a diversity of stories and reflections on motherhood, parenthood, the desire or not to have a child through a series of portraits shot on smartphones. Millions of people, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, share the desire to have a child. But the path to pregnancy for queer people is often fraught with legal hurdles. ARIA was created on a request from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Geneva to produce a work for the Biennale of the Moving Image. At the time, Emelie Jouvet had just learned that she was finally pregnant.
