Directed and co-written by Johanna Moder, Mother's Baby is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into paranoia, ambiguity, and the darker side of maternal anxieties. Anchored by a riveting performance from Marie Leuenberger, this visceral tale delivers haunting chills and taut suspense that will linger long after the credits roll.
40-year-old Julia (Leuenberger), a successful orchestral conductor, and her partner Georg (Hans Löw) have been longing for a child when the enigmatic Dr. Vilfort (Claes Bang), a fertility specialist with a private clinic, offers them hope. After successful treatment at the fertility doctor’s clinic, Julia becomes pregnant.
However, when they return to the clinic nine months later, the birth does not go as planned and the baby is immediately taken away for additional treatment, leaving Julia and her husband in the dark about what has happened. When Julia is finally reunited with the child, she feels strangely distant and soon begins to doubt whether it is really her child and if something peculiar is going on at the clinic.
