my own kind
Synopsis
Is it a mother's duty to love her child? A mother regrets not only the death but also the birth of her child. As a mother in a small town, Lilith is constantly exposed to the expectations of other people who leave no doubt that motherhood is a wonderful thing. But Lilith cannot change her feelings. The young woman quietly endures her fate, but at the same time asks openly for the first time whether a mother really has to love her child.
