Synopsis

A young couple in love: Rebecca and her boyfriend Julian are expecting their first child and are full of pleasant expectation. As Rebecca gives birth to a healthy boy their luck seems to be perfect. But instead of the unconditional motherly love she was expecting she is thrown into an emotional turmoil. Helplessness and desperation reign and her own baby is a stranger to her. With every day that passes her inability to meet the demands of motherhood become more and more apparent. Unable to admit this to anyone, not even Julian, she falls into a deep darkness — to the point that she realises she is becoming a threat to her child. Now only unconditional love can bring her back on track. –IMDb
