Between life and death, women always choose freedom.
Chantal Birman has devoted her life to defending abortion and the rights of women. At nearly 70 years old, she has no intention of retiring from her job as a midwife. From painful moments to joyful experiences, this road movie through the housing projects outside Paris offers a special take on the place of mothers in society and provides unique insight into that delicate moment of “going home”.

[MostraDones '22] A beautiful lesson on motherhood, guided by midwife Chantal Birman, about to retire, who visits distraught mothers, fearful that their child may not be able to breathe or is overweight. Terrible data is revealed, such as the fact that more young mothers die by suicide than by hemorrhage during childbirth. There is a lot of impotence in the work that the public administration allows midwives to do, but also life lessons: "Between life and death, women always choose freedom."
