As medical technology advances, expectant parents can now learn about potential disabilities before birth, forcing them to confront difficult decisions about what constitutes a life worth living. The film examines this sensitive topic through interviews with medical professionals and affected families, while using visual storytelling to place these personal dilemmas within broader social and political contexts.

  • Features perspectives from doctors, screening practitioners, and families navigating these difficult choices
  • Explores fundamental questions about normalcy, disability, and the limits of life optimisation
