among us women

In the village of Megendi, midwifery is changing. With it the question of women's self-determination. In the midst of change, young Huluager is expecting her fourth child. Despite all medical advice, she wants to give birth at home with traditional midwife Endal. But complications arise during the birth and midwives from the clinic have to intervene.

Between tradition and modernity, patriarchal structures and the complex power of female companionship, the women wrestle with their relationship to their bodies, to each other, and to all those who want to decide for them.
