Nacer
(Nacer, diario de maternidad)

Wait, obey, love, accept, resist are the terms chosen by Jorge Caballero to introduce the six births that he followed in the public hospitals of Bogotá. More than births, these are slices of life that reveal some of women’s and society’s realities. Although the institutional environment surrounding these “happy events” underlines their banality, the wealth of detail and the accuracy of the documentary put us face to face with crucial questions about determinism and a person’s place in society.
