He doesn't scream.

He doesn't scream.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry now.

Nina,

this young man demands, and it is his right,

to know exactly what happened, and why.

I understand.

I will try to explain everything, Step by step.

She had not declared her pregnancy.

So we had no follow-up, nine balances nine analyses.

So it's our fault?

We won't move forward like this.

He already asked a police investigation,

who will determine everything that happened.

My wife was fine when we arrived.

I did everything that was in my power.

So why did my baby die?

Believe me, we all feel for you.

I have two children myself.

Why couldn't my mother come in?

We do not accept anyone in the delivery room.

It's a sterile environment, reserved for staff.

We make no exceptions.

I understand the questions you ask yourself.

Your loss is inconceivable.

We will do everything in our power

to provide you with answers.

If I had known it would be her...

I would have done everything to keep him away from my wife.

Nina is our best Obstetrician gynecologist.

She helped thousands of babies to be born.

This is the first case of...

I don't think any other doctor would have done better.

I don't know what I would have done.

When there are complications during childbirth,

We call Nina.

It's no use to make accusations now.

David,

I ask you to supervise the investigation.

Believe me, no one tries to shirk one's responsibilities.

My schedule is already full.

I know, David.

I will free up your time.

Well, excuse me,

I have patients waiting for me.

I'll be back.

I know you do abortions in villages.

Child killer.

Come, come.

Come eat.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Come on up, I'll take you.

Are you going to the village?

No, at the lake. But I can leave you in the village.

All right.

Are you local?

Non.

I am visiting my family.

As a child, I spent my holidays here with my sister and my parents.

There were fish farms, muddy ponds.

They are dangerous. We weren't allowed to swim there.

When I was 11 or 12 years old,

my sister and me, We went secretly to the pond.

My sister jumped into the water.

She got stuck and could no longer get out.

I was so scared to end up in the mud

that I didn't dare enter the water to help him.

I didn't dare go and warn the house.

I was afraid to leave her alone.

I sat down and cried.

I was terrified at the thought of her drowning.

But above all, I was ashamed to be too afraid to go and help him.

Did she drown?

Non.

She's fine, she has two children.

Do you want a blowjob?

Vas-y.

I'm tired.

What's your name ?

Have you gone mute?

Take it from me.

Come in.

I can ?

Okay, yes.

I came to ask for your help.

If another supervises the investigation, he'll find an excuse to fire me.

I don't need to be covered. I have not committed any fault.

But I want that the investigation be impartial.

Whatever your conclusion, I trust your judgment.

I only trust you here.

In your professionalism, in your skills.

Why didn't you do it? by cesarean section?

She didn't want it.

I had no right to force him to do so.

She was not in a state to make this decision.

I didn't have time for a cesarean section.

We should have waited the results of the analyses.

Pregnancy had not been followed up in hospital.

His last visit to the gynecologist was more than six months old.

For her and the baby, Caesarean section would have been the safest option.

You knew it.

Yes.

But she wanted a natural childbirth.

Nina, she wasn't lucid.

I've done this often, even without pregnancy monitoring.

And even in case of premature labor.

If you had a cesarean,

It could have saved us all this.

You wouldn't have to take on this responsibility.

With the rumors going around about you...

He's looking for an excuse to fire you.

He expects to find it in my report.

I did not commit any fault.

Apart from my position, I have nothing to lose.

I'll see what I can do.

How are you doing ?

Yes, it will.

Do you have someone?

Non.

No lovers?

Not a story in eight years?

Non.

You've always been irrational.

We were young.

These rumors of abortions...

if they are true,

you're throwing your life away.

No one will thank you, no one will defend you.

I know.

You never left me...

help you.

This woman was relieved that the child is dead.

She was calm, peaceful.

Don't repeat this nonsense to anyone.

All right ?

Thanks for finding the time.

Sit down.

Where are the children?

Everyone is in the fields.

I think she's pregnant.

She didn't get her period.

Only once?

I don't know anymore if she had them last month.

But this month, I'm sure not.

Mzia, we will end up destroying his physical and mental health.

The price is cheap, we won't be able to stay in the village.

I don't know who makes her pregnant.

I don't know how she gets out of here.

I always keep her close to me.

I understand.

But it is her right to become a mother.

You don't believe it?

If my husband finds out that someone got her pregnant,

I don't know what he is capable of.

We'll have to get out of here.

Such a shame...

And the pills that I told you about?

With that, we would no longer need to abort it.

How can I be sure she's taking them?

She won't think about it. Not every day.

And you, you don't want to try the pill?

You are exhausted

with all this work around the house

and all your children.

I will have as many that God will give me.

If you take the pill, It will stay between us.

I can't take the pill.

Neither does she.

Come on, sit down.

Enlève ça.

That too.

Arrête.

I'm here, don't be afraid.

Don't move anymore.

Mzia, the pregnancy more than a month old.

The embryo is bigger.

Mzia, are we talking about me? in the village?

I don't know.

Can I buy you a coffee?

Non,

I have other patients to see in the sector.

When can you come back?

I'll see what I can do.

You have to try to relax.

It won't hurt.

Relâche ta jambe.

It's good.

Lower your legs.

You can get dressed again.

Sit down.

There’s more appeal.

She is worried that you are not pregnant yet.

We'll look at your medical records.

Khadidja Ismaïlova, 16 years old.

Married in December 2022.

Khadija, Do you want to be a mother?

Really ?

You are very young, you could wait a little.

Five more years?

You are in good health.

Your body is not ready yet, That's all.

You really want a child right away ?

I wash with laundry soap after intercourse.

A friend told me that it prevents you from getting pregnant.

Listen.

These methods will not protect you of a pregnancy.

How old is your husband?

17 years old.

He wants children?

Yes.

You continue school, where did you stop?

I continue.

There are pills.

If we take them, we don't get pregnant.

I can give you some, but you mustn't tell anyone about it.

No one should know.

You have to take them every day.

And when you want to have a child,

you will stop taking it, and you could get pregnant.

They won't realize it?

They will bring you here so that I can examine you.

You have to take it every day.

After breakfast.

You eat, and you take a pill.

And you have a heart, or you don't feel well,

You will have to tell me, without fail.

All right ?

You promise to tell me if you don't feel well?

Yes.

No one must know that I gave you this.

Otherwise, we will both have trouble.

It must remain our secret.

Is that a promise?

Promised.

Here, take it.

Did you use forceps?

Non.

Could there have been any injuries? during childbirth?

Non.

Gestational age?

30 weeks.

Okay. Let's see.

First the lungs.

This test will tell us if he was able to breathe.

Well, that's very clear.

Lung tissue are not fully formed.

The protocol in this case, It's a cesarean.

We still have to look at everything.

Please note.

Newborn male.

Premature labor.

Gestational age: 30 weeks.

Conclusion of the preliminary examination post-mortem of the lungs:

respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn.

Thank you for agreeing to do this.

If they saw you, God knows who I'll end up with.

These people don't work than for money or benefits.

You are not afraid of being discovered and lose everything?

Nobody wants to have abortions.

But it is necessary that someone does it.

Why you? Let someone else handle it.

Nurses do it to make ends meet.

In the emergency, a nurse Will she be able to save the patient?

In Tbilisi, you can have an abortion.

Tbilisi is not accessible to everyone.

And some must hide their pregnancy.

Or don't have the money to pay for the pill.

How do I say no to them?

I'm sure you understand me.

Sooner or later, the law will change.

You write to the ministry, isn't it?

Have you already received an answer?

Are you on duty tonight?

Non.

The hospital is organizing a concert this week.

All children of the staff participate.

My wife is at home to make them repeat.

They sing.

Nico has talent for music, like his mother.

Finally a member of the family who is not destined to become a doctor.

I probably shouldn't tell you this, but...

there are days when i miss you,

how I miss my childhood.

Why didn't you want to? marry me?

Why do we always come back to this?

It will be necessary that you explain it to me one day.

It would never have worked.

There is no room for anyone in my life.

Why, Nina?

Are you not satisfied with your life?

Overall, yes.

If you don't want a man, have at least one child.

Do you feel sorry for me?

It would make a big difference to you.

How will you take care of yourself?

Is she coming to see you?

Non,

she travels in Europe as soon as she has a vacation.

Did you hear the news?

No. I just started my shift.

The police came this morning to talk to you.

A young woman was murdered in a village.

The autopsy revealed a recent abortion.

The pregnancy was not declared, abortion either.

Do you know this woman?

What is her name?

She is deaf and mute.

How did it happen?

The husband of his sister had been abusing her for years.

How did he kill her?

Do you want details?

Come on, calm down.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Did she die quickly?

You want to know How long did it take?

This man deserves the worst punishment.

Nina...

Abortion, Was it you who did it?

Yes, it's me.

You thought about the consequences for our hospital?

All your abortions will be examined under a microscope.

I can't speak other women.

I can't speak than this patient.

If you recognize this abortion,

You will be forced to say more.

They will make you name all the names.

We'll both have the police on the back for five years.

You will no longer be able to practice,

and you won't find another job.

Nowhere.

Even if you don't go to jail, Nina, your life will be ruined.

And I will have to assume a share of responsibility.

I will do what you tell me.

Nina,

Do you understand what the law is?

If you want to work,

the law must be respected.

The law is sometimes contrary à nos convictions.

But it's the law.

If I don't do it, someone else will do it.

Come in.

Shall we sit down?

Good morning.

Here we go ?
