Documentary
Director: Hilde Merete Haug
Overview
15-25% of the population are childless. In this film, the director takes us on a difficult but at the same time heartwarming journey together with three other childless women. It looks at why having children in life is so important to many, and how it can affect our lives if the wish does not materialize. Grief, depression and feelings of alienation can be forever present for those affected by involuntary childlessness, but this film also contains a lot of hope and offers of reconciliation. An open and fragile journey into something deeply existential in a person's psyche.
