A dramatic and straightforward account of the daily battle doctors and families wage to save premature babies. The film crew got the exclusive chance to spend a few months at an intensive care unit for infants, allowing the viewer to become a direct participant in many tense situations: the moment of birth and the first contact between family and child, consultations between doctors and families at the most difficult moments, as well as difficult decision-making about an operation that can save a child’s life. The director successfully captured not only the immediate atmosphere of the struggle for new life, but also filmed actual intimate and fragile moments, those which lend an unrepeatable magic to the film.
