Be My Baby (2023, 13 min) poses the question, where do you draw the line on the manipulation of science and technology to solve our problems. And who has the right to decide? As Marina and Jose face their individual realities of infertility, she is determined to go an unconventional route. One that seems to trigger everyone around them.
This question becomes the catalyst in one woman’s fight for motherhood.
