Synopsis

A Palestinian mother-to-be in the Netherlands
grapples with emotional and physical challenges
during pregnancy. Through personal reflections,she
confronts pain, uncertainty, fear of bodily changes,
and an identity crisis, all while challenging societal
norms around motherhood. Torn between her
personal struggles and the devastation in Gaza, she
feels guilt and shame, questioning her right to feel
pain and wrestling with her privilege while others
endure unimaginable suffering.
