An entirely original and anglo-saxon approach of death. Encouraged by a young hospital doctor, women, surrounded by their husband and children, coax, cuddle and coddle their stillborn baby. They then honour and bury him as if he had lived. They talk between themselves about their ordeal and about the psychological difficulties they then experience.
