This disturbing autobiographical documentary (running time is less than 50 minutes) starts as director Kawase (who is in her 30s) berates her 90 year old grandmother (who apparently raised her alone) for...well, it's not clear what is she reproaching her for, apparently for once telling her that if she didn't want to live with her, she could go somewhere else. It's an ugly scene, and after that we saw another disturbing scene of the old grandmother bathing in close up. Later scenes show Kawase and her grandmother on better terms as they reflect on old age, life, happiness, etc. The movie later shows the grandmother being brought to a hospital on an ambulance and we are later informed that she died (we are thankfully spared of seeing her on her deathbed). The final scene of the movie shows Kawase giving birth to her son.

32分钟长的DV纪录片，记录下两年前河濑产下宝贝女儿的经历和之后的一些生活片段，与她的其他作品相比，这部自然是属于更为私密也是更生活化的一部，而且在色彩和摄影上偏重于营造梦幻感和实验性，在其中河濑依然以诗人般的敏感触觉带给我们一些充满温情和快乐的家庭影像。

「命を授かるということは、命を分かつということ。命を身ごもったその日から、そしてその命の誕生までを描くつもりの映画でした。けれど、創ってゆくうちに、それはただこのひとつの「命」だけの物語ではないということにたどりつき・・. やがて、命と命の結び目を描くような映画へと昇華してゆきました　河瀨直美」
