非法母親 Legit Moms, Illegitimate Kid
The Weirdo in Taiwan Documentary Series
 
Role: Producer / Camera Operator

In 2019, Mota and City “were allowed” to become each other’s wife but they are still “not allowed” to have children of their own. They refuse to bow down to the law and find an unregulated route tofulfil their longing to become mothers. On this 424-day journey to having a child, they are confronted with physical challenges, psychological traumas and the restrictions imposed by the law.

小雨自小無法成為母親心中的完美女兒,這樣的心理傷痕在成長過程中如影隨形。成年後的她,在事業上闖出一片天,

並找到另一個比自己更愛自己的她——世平,一起共組家庭。然而制度未臻完善、社會觀念尚未健全,這個「家庭」的建構遠比想像中艱辛。兩人的同性婚姻關係因未符法規,只能選擇出國接受人工受孕。在歷經植入失敗、嚴重妊娠糖尿等關卡後,小生命豆豆的到來,像似一場給所有人的洗禮,兩人彷彿也在磨難後,甫獲新生。

 

2019年5月17日,同婚專法的通過為台灣寫下歷史,但合法建立婚姻關係只是起點,從未消失的污名化與歧視,以及跨國伴侶適法性、收養與生育法規配套等相關議題,仍是諸多已婚、未婚的同性伴侶與台灣社會必須面對的課題。導演以一貫溫柔視角,帶領觀眾凝視深深淺淺的愛與傷痕,而這個「家庭」的旅程才正要開始。
