Wombstories dared to go where no other brand has gone before, into the womb, to bring to life wombworlds and their wombdwellers. The film weaves together multiple storylines and marries animated wombworlds and real life action which is all housed in a cosmic uterus universe. It is a visceral emotional rollercoaster of love and hate, pain and pleasure and the good and the bad. It shows the truth of life with a uterus - that it is never simple. 

Throughout this bittersweet journey we touch on the unseen, unheard and underrepresented wombstories: the struggle with IVF, the devastation of miscarriage, the choice to remain child free, menopause, the overwhelming pain of endometriosis, the pleasure of sex and the mundane frustrations that come with uteruses and menstruation. And while we show these different experiences it is all stitched together into a single universal story of life with a womb. 

The 26 countries Wombstories launched in are vastly different. In France same sex couples were denied the right to IVF; in some markets, even the word Uterus was censored, while blood, miscarriage, child free by choice are still deep-seated taboos everywhere. But wherever you live in the world, it is a constant that women’s experiences are doubted and silenced. Which fuels a never-ending cycle of shame. And is perpetuated by a world that likes to tell women what they should want and experience. This law of silence has disastrous mental and physical consequences. We see it in the average diagnosis time of 8 years for endometriosis, in 62% of all women feeling unable to talk about their experiences, in miscarriage effecting nearly 20% of all pregnancies yet women suffer in shame and alone, in women made to feel guilty about not wanting children, and on and on.

Wombstories is the distillation of hundreds of real metaphorical descriptions of life with a womb. And bringing to life wombstories has meant navigating several challenges. While it touched on specific yet wildly different experiences like endometriosis, menopause, miscarriage, IVF, and childfree by choice, the overall experience had to feel like a universal story that everyone with a womb would recognise. Within that challenge we had to take wildly different animations, integrating them into a coherent whole. All the while navigating six primary storylines that alternated between live action and animation. And making sure we did it with the sensitivity these raw subjects required and that the story arc balanced itself between laughter and tears.

Woven together by an all-female team of creators, each wombworld viscerally brings to life a personality and detailed organic interior that matches the person in the real world.
