COMIC STRIP
AMALIA
As a devoted mother, patient wife and dedicated employee, Amalia does everything she can to please those around her. By taking care of everybody, her body sends her alarm signals. The diagnosis is in: Amalia has “performance intolerance”. A condition deeply linked to the environment in which it evolves, affected by the ecological and health crisis. To get back on track, Amalia needs to take a break. Gradually, the heroine learns to listen to herself and gets back to basics. The magnificent illustrations of this comic book by Aude Picaud plunge us into a touching and inspiring universe, with humorous and, above all, meaningful dialogues.

BOOK
THE SECRET LIFE OF A SLUMMY MUMMY
There are exemplary mothers, always punctual, dolled up, and smiling. Lucy is not (at all) one of them. Lucy is rather the overwhelmed and airheaded mom. The one who is put to the test, who drives a car whose interior has been colonised by toys and rubbish, who has no time to take care of herself. The one who falls for a parent of a student, despite the love she has for her husband. From blunders to adventures, Lucy's adventures are familiar to us, they amuse us and also upset us a little, because the character is so endearing and recognisable to us.

PODCAST
THE POWER OF MOTHERS
Being a parent, while remaining a woman or man in their own right, regardless of this role. Not neglecting yourself and remaining true to yourself while supporting and valuing your child. Putting an end to the status of “good mother” that some people are denied. A way to be part of a social and collective approach. This is the theme explored here by Charlotte Bienaimé, creator of this podcast, where mothers and committed women take the floor and invite us to question ourselves about new forms of parenthood.

MOVIE
TULLY
After the birth of her third child, Tully is mentally and physically exhausted, caught in the hellish whirlwind of her daily life as a mother. The arrival of a night nanny, highly recommended by her brother, will change her life. It is a bittersweet comedy-drama, reminding us that mothers do not have to be superheroines and that they too need to be loved, supported and protected. A poignant and moving film.
