For the first time, director Ohad Milstein points his camera at his own home. His partner Rahel, the daughter of a Swiss bishop, is pregnant with identical twins. In her 23rd week, she learns that one of the foetuses died in utero. Doctors say that in those rare cases when the other foetus doesn’t die right away, it is almost certain to be born with severe brain damage and other disabilities. They are therefore unanimous in their recommendation that the couple terminate the pregnancy. This presents the couple with a critical dilemma. Should they really end the pregnancy by aborting the surviving foetus? Clinging only to faith and her maternal instincts, Rahel confronts everyone around her over the right of her surviving foetus to live, regardless of how perfect or imperfect it is.
Ohad Milstein was born in 1973. His films are often experimental in form and are highly meticulous visually. Milstein studied Cinema at Tel Aviv University from 1996 to 2000, and Photography & Art at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design from 2003 to 2005. His film Obsession premiered at the 2008 DocAviv Film Festival. Milstein is an active video-artist, presenting in both national and international art exhibitions.
