Thirteen women talk about their childbirth experiences and traumas in French hospitals, pointing the finger, denouncing the conditions and demanding better ones, as well as a more humane treatment in a moment of such vulnerability. An inventive film that is a way of talking about serious things with humour, aiming to pass out the message and to desacralize the theme. (Carlos Ramos)
