We are immensely happy to announce that Mums (Mares) has been nominated for the Gaudí Award for Best Documentary Film, a recognition that celebrates not only the cinematic work but also the courage, tenderness, and honesty that run through this story.
An intimate, universal, and deeply human story
Anna (41) and Ari (32) want to become mothers. What initially seemed like a straightforward path soon transforms into a complex medical, physical, and emotional journey that puts the couple’s limits to the test.
For more than four years, Ari captures with her camera the ups and downs of a process filled with hope and frustration, laughter and tears, expectation and disappointment. And through it all, Anna and Ari never lose their sense of humour.
Mums is a transgenerational film that invites us to reflect on the consequences of postponing motherhood, while highlighting love, care, and the bonds that sustain us—especially when things get difficult.
A journey that has already moved audiences and juries
The Gaudí nomination adds to a celebrated international trajectory that includes:
- DocsBarcelona – Audience Award
- FicCat 2025 – Special Mention of the Jury
- Porto Femme International Film Festival – Special Mention of the Jury
- Festival Protesta – Special Mention of the Jury
Thank you
To Anna and Ari for their generosity and courage.
To the teams who have supported this film at every stage.
And to the audiences, for embracing this story with such emotion.
We continue celebrating and sharing Mums, now more than ever.
