Autofiction about different motherhood: happy and tragic. About a man's collision with the system at the moment when he is as defenseless and helpless as possible. About a place that is truly scary. And about doctors who once chose their work over their own lives, who can be strict, imperfect, outwardly impassive. But behind this impassivity there is always another's grief, which cannot help but be seen as a personal tragedy.
"The emptiness with which you leave the maternity hospital without a baby is never filled. It's a physical feeling of absence... It's different when he's there. He'll grow up crying from colic, from cutting teeth, he'll wake you up seven or eight times a night. He'll have fever, diarrhea, chicken pox, sometimes he'll cry just to get your attention, and you'll be tired, exhausted, with a sore lower back, greasy hair and blue circles under your eyes. But you'll be someone's mom. And that's forever."
