After a traumatic encounter leaves her pregnant, a young woman begins discovering the world anew as she communicates with her unborn child.
The story
Nineteen-year-old Ewa becomes pregnant after several men she has just met at a disco force her into a car. At first, she denies the pregnancy and saves money for an abortion, but a punk named Michał robs her. Ewa later learns that a fetus can hear while still in its mother’s womb. She begins speaking to her unborn child, first hesitantly and then with growing confidence, using sounds to describe the world. Raised alone in a home dominated by her cold, haughty mother, Ewa finds that explaining life to the child also leads her to examine it herself.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
Nineteen-year-old Ewa (Małgorzata Bela) becomes pregnant after several guys she has just met at a disco force her into a car. At first, she denies the baby and saves up money for an abortion, but she is robbed by Michał (Marcin Brzozowski), a punk. At some point, she accidentally learns that a fetus can hear while still in its mother’s womb. Initially shy, but then increasingly bold, she “talks” to her unborn child. Using sounds, she tries to describe what the world is like. The girl teaches the child what the world is, and, alone and raised in a home dominated by her cold, haughty mother (Teresa Budzisz-Krzyżanowska), discovers it herself. She asks both herself and the child: “Is life worth living?”
