A doctor in rural Georgia faces scrutiny after a baby dies during childbirth in this affecting and atmospheric abortion drama.
Director: Dea Kulumbegashvili
Overview
Nina is the best gynaecologist in her area, but after a newborn dies during a difficult birth, blame is directed at her. Matters are complicated by the fact that she performs illegal abortions to women who need it; under scrutiny and in a compromised position, she continues providing them with care, stoically unshakeable in her beliefs and irrespective of personal risk.
Produced by Luca Guadagnino, Dea Kulumbegashvili’s affecting and atmospheric sophomore feature builds on the promise of her impressive debut Beginning, brilliantly examining the confluence between womanhood and existence.
