A screening of the Latvian drama The Child (Bērns), followed by a film talk and Q&A with director Linda Olte. The film follows Zane and Kaspars, a couple in their late 30s who seem to have it all—love, careers, a house and shared hobbies—but have been unable to have a child despite years of trying. Kaspars slowly comes to terms with the idea that life can be fulfilling without children, but for Zane, a former professional swimmer trained to win, not becoming a mother is unacceptable. As her 40s approach and she goes to grueling lengths to meet her target, the couple's relationship grows increasingly strained and Zane must question her role within her family and in society.
