A tragedy that should never have happened in the first place!

The heroine is a goose when it comes to things like giving birth to a child, and she wants to give birth at home. Half of the friends around me have had some kind of risk in the production process. So, if you should, blame her! Modern humans are far more dangerous. Humans are incompatible with the earth and other species on it!

If you choose to live at home, you deserve it! Especially after the due date has passed, the risk is very high! She did not destroy her humanity and finally went to court to say that it was her own responsibility and that it was the only right thing in the film!

Pieces of a Woman quotes

  • Elizabeth: And I'm ashamed of me. That I wasn't a good enough mother to teach you how to stand up and speak for yourself, for God's sakes. And to deal with this. Like my mother taught me. After my father went into the ghetto, my mother found a shack, an empty shack, that she went into and gave birth to me. Without any help at all. She stashed me under the floorboards when she had to go out and steal food. So she could make milk enough to keep me alive, but just alive. Not strong enough to cry, or we'd be caught. When she finally got me to a doctor, he advised her to just let me go. That I wasn't... I wasn't strong enough to survive. But when she absolutely insisted, he picked me up by my feet and held me up like a chicken and said, "If she tries to lift her head, then there's hope." And you know what I did, Martha? I lifted my head. That's what I'm asking you to do now. Lift your head and fight for yourself, for God's sakes! Go out there and face that woman.

  • Lane: Yes, how did you feel holding your baby you had just given birth to?

    Martha: She smelled like an apple.
