Click to Unmute
A woman has been cleared of all accusations, brings a newborn home. While her husband wrestles with suspicion over what might happen next.
Exonerated after being accused of killing her baby, a woman returns home with a newborn, hoping for a fresh start. But the trauma of the past lingers, and her husband’s wavering trust threatens their marriage. As she battles postpartum depression in silence, the film explores how fear and a judgmental society can prevent someone from receiving the help they need.
