Six Weeks

Due to different life situations, there are mothers who do not want or cannot bring up their own children. They have the right to give the child away just after delivery. During the first six weeks of the newborn’s life, the mother has to make the decision about the definite resignation of her parental rights. She is free in making her decision. However, the decision she makes cannot be changed afterwards. The biological mother loses any contact with her child. She can only write a final letter to the child. The film shows in a poetical way the first six weeks of the small human being who was given up.
