The birth

About This Movie

So, 'The Birth' is this quirky 1995 animation that’s got a real oddball charm to it. The premise is wild—an anonymous couple in a maternity ward where the woman’s stuck in bed while the guy waits nervously outside. The doctors and nurses, instead of doing their jobs, decide to throw a drunken party. It's all quite surreal, and then there's this mysterious guest who plays a pivotal role in bringing Benio into the world. What’s striking is the atmosphere; it’s a mix of chaos and dark humor, very much reflecting the unpredictability of life. The animation style, very characteristic of Marek Serafinski, has that rawness which adds to its distinctive feel. It’s not your typical birth story—definitely has a unique perspective.
