Placing the responsibility for a failed home birth on the midwife seems to be the only goal of Marta's mother and husband.

Costei, devastated psychologically and physically by the birth of a beautiful creature, who died from unspecified causes a few minutes after being born, begins to live her personal and family Via Crucis.

The grief experienced in absolute loneliness and misunderstanding of others will make her gain a radically new outlook.

What happened cannot be redressed, and Marta does not seek any unnecessary stupid "justice."

Screenwriter Kata Weber already of the same director's award-winning White Dog, puts her hand to this theme personally experienced by the Mundruczó couple:

"My wife and I wanted to share with the audience one of our most personal experiences through the story of an unborn child, in the belief that art can be the best cure for pain," the director says. Will we be the same as before after a tragedy?

Will we be able to find someone to accompany us in the free fall of grief?

Twenty-five/thirty deafening minutes of labor, a time perhaps never before devoted by cinema to this brutal pre-birth condition.

Just as much attention devoted to the mother's misunderstandings, her husband's selfishnesses, and the empi necessary to recover the pieces of a torn identity.

As an original sin, Martha eats apples, they remind her of her daughter's fragrance, and only when she has recovered her shatterings and those of all women, will she be able to reconstruct the one who will be able to give birth to the new Eve, no longer condemned to pain and sin for eating the fruit of the forbidden tree, the new woman will eat the apple after picking it by spontaneously and freely climbing a tree.
