Amina is 17 and pregnant. Afraid of giving birth, she goes to older women for consolation and advice, but their stories only scare her even more.
Signe Baumane was born in Latvia, educated in Moscow, and now lives in New York. She has given birth once. Her films include Five Fucking Fables (2002), Dentist (2005), which screened at l'Alternativa that year, and Teat Beat of Sex (2007).
