Synopsis
Theo and her colleagues begin rehearsing speeches about a violent technique that turns female shrimp into blind reproduction machines. While taking care of her sister’s child, Theo starts to question her own place within the systems that surround her. Maturation Station is a feminist, absurdist short film about the fluid boundary between work and private life, care and reproduction.
