Winning audience awards wherever it is shown, this astonishingly accomplished, profoundly moving documentary will affect you on a level that few films dare to reach. Director Nicole Conn gives us an unflinching examination of her and her partner Gwen's odyssey to hell and back when the surrogate mother carrying their baby gives birth one-hundred days prematurely. Weighing less than one pound with less than a 1% chance for survival, their son becomes the focus of Nicole's life and potentially the end of her marriage. Struggling with philosophical differences about whether or not to use medical intervention to keep the baby alive, these two mothers must face the most anguishing of decisions: to save their child or let him go.
