Delivery

When Daphne becomes pregnant, it isnt only her life that changes For her husband Amir, for their parents, and for their friends Guy and Abigail, the pregnancy and birth force them all to look at their own lives, at what they want, at their pasts and their futures. Each person has a different perspective of the delivery, and of the complexity of having a child: the difference between men and women, a changing self-perception of parents, conflicts between work and parenthood. Lives are changed, and the equilibrium each of them has achieved is fundamentally disturbed until, after the delivery, they can find a new balance for the future. Giving birth is almost never depicted in fiction. I dont remember ever reading such a description of a delivery, neither in Hebrew fiction nor in world literature.
