Incompatible with life - Women’s voices on prenatal grief

Drawing from her personal experience with a pregnancy diagnosed with fetal malformation incompatible with life, director Eliza Capai creates a poignant documentary. She speaks with other Brazilian women who have faced similar heartbreaking situations, forming a touching choir of voices that reflects on universal themes: motherhood, prenatal grief, and abortion.

In Brazil, where abortion in such cases can lead to up to three years in prison, "Incompatible with Life" captures the emotional and legal struggles these women endure, offering a profound exploration of their collective pain and resilience.
