Sometimes, happiness can strike us with fear...
Sometimes, happiness can strike us with fear: a woman at an advanced stage of pregnancy has a nightmare; a pathologist (also a father of eight) is afraid of dying; a girl dives on her own in immense ocean. In the meantime, a film director bids farewell to death in order to be able to give a new life.
