Following the birth of her baby, Jen's feelings of isolation are palpable. A narrative and performance driven short film directed by Geej Ower, Five Weeks explores the vulnerable psyche of a new mother and the emotional strain that early motherhood can have on a woman.

Geej Ower explains: ’I've always felt like that early period of motherhood has been misrepresented on screen. The narratives around postpartum mental health are often over-dramatised and taken to the extreme. I wanted to tell a truer, smaller story but one with dangerously high stakes. One where on this particular day, in a moment of utter despair, she just makes a terrible decision.'
