A Child of My Own

2026 · 96 min Documentary
7.0 / 10 · TMDB

Anna and Marcos sit in the fertility specialist's office, listening to statistics. Three years of trying, five failed IVF attempts, savings dwindling, while relatives ask, "When will it happen?" The 2026 Spanish documentary examines modern parenthood through the lens of assisted reproductive technology. Director Carla Simón captures not just medical procedures, but the emotional rollercoaster of the couple—from hope to despair, from unity to mutual reproach. The camera becomes a silent witness to hormone injections, long waits in clinics, conversations about money and ethics. This is a film about how the dream of a child collides with biology, economics, and societal pressure, forcing a reexamination of the very concept of family.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Carla Simón works in the tradition of direct cinema, where the camera is an invisible observer. She films with long static shots, allowing situations to unfold in real time without intervention.

The viewer becomes a participant in an intimate process where medical terminology intertwines with raw emotion. The film avoids easy answers, leaving room for personal reflection. — MovieFinder Editorial
