"It's still the forced birth policy implemented by Romania, which is designed to benefit. In 1966, in order to "increase the population" and "strengthen the national strength", Ceausescu implemented a policy of prohibiting abortion and even banning birth control, claiming that "people who do not have children" People are the ones who betray the country.” The law prohibits abortion, contraception, and divorce, and every family must have four children. Those who are infertile are required to pay taxes, those who miscarry without permission are punished and imprisoned, and police officers specializing in gynecological examinations have been set up. In order to ensure the "implementation of the policy", Ceausescu ordered law enforcement officers stationed in offices, factories, schools, rural areas and other units to strictly monitor women, and urged them to have monthly gynecological examinations to ensure that they did not use contraceptives.

Let’s talk about the huge disaster that Romania has brought to women and babies after the implementation of this birth policy: many women do not want to become reproductive machines, and desperately cross the border to seek asylum in neighboring countries, but they are often regarded as “traitors” by the border guards. The underground abortion and abortion services in Romania came into being, but due to the inability to guarantee sanitary conditions and medical technology, the mortality rate of pregnant women continued to rise; more seriously, due to the then Romanian domestic maternity hospitals, obstetrics and gynecology experts, The number of obstetricians, paediatricians and maternal and child health workers is far from being able to cope with the large number of babies born, resulting in many deaths of newborn babies due to lack of timely care. The infant mortality rate increased by 145.6%. Not only that. Many babies are sold when they are born that they cannot afford or who are not willing to support them. Many of these babies and girls were sold to the underground porn industry, and they were all good for being young prostitutes. Many were sold to make pornographic child abuse films, and were tortured to death. The sexual abuse videos were also sold all over Europe. Some children were sent to orphanages, but due to poverty, the environment of the orphanages was poor, and no one cared for them since childhood. These children were diagnosed with autism and other mental diseases when they grew up. "

    To endure a clandestine abortion with insults worse than rape, great fear, and ethical and cultural culpability, is at the same time a breakout from strict social surveillance, a breakout from a society where urban-rural discrimination, occupational reliance on assignments, and population mobility controls exist. The persecution of human beings by social rules is demonstrated under the eternal ethical issue of abortion. The film creates a constant sense of unease and anxiety through camera movement (approximately) and frame selection (restrictive).
