The movie highlights the dark reality of postpartum depression. When her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio's character pays all his attention to the new baby, Perfidia feels completely alone. Teyana hopes the film starts a healthy conversation, pointing out that society usually judges mothers struggling with postpartum depression instead of asking how to help them.
