Katia
When you agree to give birth, you accept the anguish of death, before anything else. A symbolic death. Except for Katia, this death became real. Didier violently died when she was three months pregnant.
She took her pregnancy as a gift. A persistence of their love. A life instinct so strong and inexorably growing.To radiate is her way of fighting…Didier is gone for two years now. She has been telling her story to Magali for over two years… Recording words to remember, like a letter to her daughter.
A radio documentary about a birth and an absence, intimate, delicate and fragile like the thread of life.
