When they learn that their child will not be born healthy, they are at first optimistic that they can respond to the challenge.

But the closer it gets to the due date, the more the wife begins to worry about the future of her unborn child as well as that of her family and her career. After many discussions and arguments she realises that she will have to take the decision on her own. 

The German Film Festival is held annually by the Hanoi-based Goethe Institute, aiming to help Vietnamese audience understand more about the German country and people.-VNA
