Claire lives on a compound in Saudi Arabia where division between her western compound and the wider society increases her feeling of isolation caused by postpartum. Claire lives a rich exotic life, has help at home and a caring husband. However, ten months after labor she still cannot beat the depression that she has no control over. Postpartum focuses on the day she has chosen to fight with her condition whatever the outcome. She try's to interact with others, with the environment she lives in, and most importantly with her son James, but postpartum depression has taken control of her life and ultimately may end it if she looses the battle.
