Quotes:
« Mother: Do you ever feel like the big secret is that we are gods? We fucking create life. We make life. We are so powerful. I bet men are terrified of us. I mean, look at you. You are this miraculous goddess growing bones as we speak.
»
« Mother: I could crush a walnut with my vagina.
»
« Mother: How did she deal with the anger, the resentment for all that she didn't do? How many women have delayed their greatness while the men around them didn't know what to do with theirs I'd ask her if she ever regretted becoming a mother.

Plots:
A woman pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom, but soon her domesticity takes a surreal turn.
A woman, thrown into the stay-at-home routine of raising a toddler in the suburbs, slowly embraces the feral power deeply rooted in motherhood, as she becomes increasingly aware of the bizarre and undeniable signs that she may be turning into a dog.
Once, she was an up-and-coming New York City installation artist. Now, she is an exhausted, sleep-deprived stay-at-home mum struggling to juggle marriage and maternity. As the endless succession of busy mornings and hectic nights takes a toll on the overwhelmed mother, subtle changes to body and mind leave her guessing. Is chronic stress turning this mother into something else? After all, life can be a bitch. But motherhood is no better either.
