British film-maker Josh Appignanesi turns the camera on himself and his wife Devorah to document their much-longed-for pregnancy. His candid introspection and self-interrogation strikes a chord, but doesn’t, at first, reveal anything particularly novel about impending parenthood. Then the pregnancy becomes complicated, the happiness is stalked by tragedy and the immense generosity of Appignanesi and his wife in sharing this most intimate of journeys becomes clear. Told simply through snatches of conversations with friends and family, and subtle sound design, this is a profoundly moving and revealing study of a life-changing event.
