Birthday

• Watchlist

A young anti-war demonstrator contemplates her pregnancy and recalls her childhood as she prepares to give birth. She ponders social, political and economic injustice, as well as scenes from her own life. She recalls a childhood funeral, where she first became aware of death, and, in the context of her anxieties about the instability of the modern world, considers her social responsibilities and the eternal questions surrounding the stark reality of life and death.
