SYNOPSIS : TAO focuses on the dramatic pregnancy and birth of a baby. The viewer experiences the increasing conflicts of the expectant parents and their effects on the unborn child through the thoughts and feelings of the fetus. From the creation of the world, from the Big Bang to the first life on earth, to the conception of a child in the womb, the viewer is introduced to the life of a pregnant woman. A supposedly loving relationship increasingly develops into a nightmare, which the expectant mother tries to dampen with sleeping pills, cigarettes etc. The couple’s conflicts intensify until the birth of the child, in a decisive key scene that decides between life or death and love or suffering.
