Synopsis

 
Midwives usually attend more than a thousand births in their lifetime, be it in a hospital, a birth center or at home.
The personal stories of midwives from Ethiopia to Brazil, Austria to Nepal and Morocco become a mirror that reflects the political and economic situation of women, their status and demands in society, from the perspective of these wise women who see us as the first in this world.
