Every day, in the maternity rooms of public hospitals in Bogota, Columbia, hundreds of women give birth. But the medical care is insufficient and the personnel are unable to cope. Insightful documentary.

The medical institution is saturated, immersed in its routines and cannot pay attention to the needs of the families. The mothers are almost always alone, lacking affection and comprehension. BIRTH is the representation of an old conflict between two antagonistic characters, the human being and the mechanics. The female patients are the victims of these two realities.
