Birth


This film attempts to take an adult look at reincarnation. Ten years ago, a woman's husband died. At the same time, a boy was born. Now, while she has a new love interest, a 10 year old boy arrives claiming to be her dead husband. At first disbelieving, she slowly becomes convinced that his story is true. This causes upheaval in her family, as she attempts to have a relationship with someone who is both her dead husband yet still a little boy. Reviews have been mixed.
