A feminist tale which in some ways reminded me of The World According to Garp, with Glenn Close as an independent woman who decides to have a baby without the active participation of a father figure.
The difference is that rather than an American perspective, it is a Dutch one. Antonia tells everyone that this is the last day of her life and she tells her story in flashbacks, starting with her arrival at the family farm with her daughter Danielle, and her intention of raising her as a single mother.
Following in her mother's footsteps, Danielle announces that she would like to have a child and so Antonia searches for the proper donor. The line continues when Danielle gives birth to Therese who then begets Sarah; got it? This is not a mainstream work, by any means. The acting is solid and the viewpoint an interesting one. I was mildly amused.
