Auditioning for Parenthood

Alice Nellis / Czech Republic / 2014 / World Premiere / 75 min.


synopsis

A kaleidoscope of a number of stories with the same ending – a longed-for child. This film sensitively captures the wait for a child, revealing the inner thoughts of the parents who are preparing for their new roles. Against the backdrop of the adoption process, the parents go through a slightly different kind of pregnancy full of challenges and decisions.
