Before I Met You

In their isolation, women face strict routines, loneliness and different forms of violence.The documentary 'Before I Met You' provides an intimate look at what goes on behind the closed doors of delivery rooms, where only a closed circle of people are allowed to enter. The documentary opens sensitive topics of Slovak maternity clinics and medicine itself. (Jeden svet)
