Six Weeks

Due to different life situations, there are mothers who do not want or cannot bring up their children. They have the right to give the child away right after delivery. During the first six weeks of the newborn’s life, the mother has to decide whether she wants to definitely give up her parental rights. She is free to decide one way or the other; however the decision she makes cannot be changed afterwards. A biological mother thus loses all contact with her child. She can only write a final letter to the child. The film poetically chronicles the first six weeks of a baby that was given up.
