Mother's Baby

Julia, 40, a successful conductor, and her partner Georg, 44, long for a child when Dr. Vilfort offers them hope. After successful treatment at his clinic, Julia becomes pregnant. But the birth does not go as expected, and the infant is taken away immediately. Julia is left in the dark about what happened. When she finally receives the child, she feels strangely distant. She even doubts whether it is really her child. MOTHER’S BABY explores a hidden world, societal expectations of motherhood, and the challenge of not losing oneself in the process. The film is not a conventional drama, but a psychological thriller that plays with visual darkness and the contrast between beauty and pain. Julia’s world blurs, and the question of reality remains.
