Story:
Netflix drama directed by Kornél Mundruczó. The story follows Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf), a couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife, Eve (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Then begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband, and her domineering mother, Elizabeth (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court.
