A Child of My Own

A woman haunted by the pressure to become a mother concocts a false pregnancy, plunging herself into a web of deception that quickly spirals into criminal entanglement. The film follows her increasingly precarious balancing act, revealing how personal longing collides with cultural expectations and the lengths one will go to fulfill an imagined future.

Presented in a stark, observational style, the documentary blends intimate interviews with gritty, real‑time footage, creating a tense yet empathetic atmosphere. Its title captures the paradox of ownership—she seeks to claim a child that isn’t hers—while underscoring the broader commentary on identity, desire, and the hidden costs of societal pressure.
