Told through the words of 76 unique narrators, this delicate film delivers an intimate portrait of the cycle of a woman’s life.
Inspired by his mother’s life, director Ken Wardrop created a graceful and triumphant portrait, accenting each personal interview with stunning cinematography. Set against the backdrop of the Irish Midlands, the girls’ and women’s candor weaves a tapestry that is simultaneously hilarious and sad, profound and relatable. As subjects progress from children on to young adults, mothers, and grandmothers His & Hers becomes a touching rumination on the relationships that shape all human lives, regardless of gender.
