Plot
Maura plays a pregnant television reporter who discovers that an increasing number of unborn babies (including her own) are telling their mothers they don't want to be born, or are born stillborn when induced.
Reception
The film was not well-received by Belgian critics. Luc Honore of Le Soir thought that the film's concept was thin and might have been more successful as a short film. New York Times critic Stephen Holden described the film as "deadly earnest" and "an uneasy hybrid of science fiction and medical information" populated by "programmatic stick figures". Jay Carr of The Boston Globe thought it was "a high-minded save-the-planet cri du coeur" that did not fully sustain its premise and energy but "there's never any doubt that its heart is in the right place." In a brief review for the film's exhibition at the 1992 American Film Institute International Film Festival, Los Angeles Times critic Michael Wilmington said that it "fails as social comment and horror story".
