Solomamma raises important ethical questions about origin, identity and belonging: Who is the author of life? What is the miracle of conception and birth when we think about life in medical-technical paradigms? What is the source and responsibility of a new life and the uncontrollable consequences of such a choice ? Can a «Solomamma» take responsibility for her decisions and respect freedom, her own, her child's and the donor's?

This film questions us about the conditions for living independently while remaining connected to others.
