Residency project:
"Labor from here"
Through a tapestry of perspectives, this film draws inspiration from the Rashomon effect to unveil a single moment seen through different eyes. The birth of a new life—an earth-shattering event for some, just another day for others. Between urgency and routine, miracle and mundanity, we explore the fragmented emotions of those who experience, witness, and shape this moment. From the mother to the father, from the obstetrician to the nurse—even the newborn whispers their own version of this unique and universal story.
