After 10 years have past

2023 / 14 min 54 sec / Mockumentary

[Synopsis]
The protagonist is a 29-year-old woman.
She is passionate about her work and is in the early stages of pregnancy, although she is unmarried.
Ten years earlier, she was also pregnant.
At that time, she had just started working after graduating from high school and felt unable to take time off, so she chose to have an abortion.
Comparing the present to ten years ago, how does she face this second pregnancy, and what decision will she make?

Many of my friends of the same generation are having children one after another. While this feels like a happy thing, I also began to wonder, “Is it really so easy to have a child?” Despite advances in medical technology, the risks related to reproduction are still very unequal between both sex.
Through the words of the woman, I tried to express my own thoughts on pregnancy and childbirth, as well as helplessness of men in these situations.
