"THAT IS YOUR BABY" is a project for a short film devoted to organ donation. Provoked by my passion for filmmaking, storytelling and recording of people's histories, I randomly came across an American news report that touched and inspired me to write the script for this film.
In a busy city park, faith "accidentally" brings together two women and a little girl. The child wanders away and gets lost in the park. Almost crying, it comes across a woman, who appears kind, it asks her to help her find her mom. The strange woman comforts the girl and they find her mom, who is frantically looking for her. The two women met and in an emotional conversation they uncover that they have a very close bond. Three years earlier, one of the women lost her seven month old son and donated his heart to another child anonymously. At the same time, the small girl, whose life was hanging by a thread, due to a congenital anomaly of the heart, underwent cardiac surgery. In the dialogue between the two women in the park, we uncover that the mother of the girl knew only the name of the donor child and that he was of the same age. At the end of the conversation we witness the most amazing meeting on earth. The heart of the boy, donated by the one woman beats in the chest of the little girl next to her in the park.
The film is co-production between Spain and Bulgaria and dedicated to the cause of donation and transplantation, which are vital to saving one's life!
