27 Children

Romania, 2019 - Based on actual events. 40-year-old childless kindergarten teacher, Ana Petcu (Dorotheea Petre - Best Actress 2005 Cannes FF), visits her doctor to discuss lab results - and despite receiving answers to life long questions, she discovers the repercussions of being raised in Eastern European communist block foster care systems. The discreet birth-control practices of that system, meant to keep young girls safe, turns out to be life-altering in other ways. Motherhood has escaped her, but she'll find a way to move on through her other children; her students.
