A drama based on the director's experience of coming to terms with multiple sclerosis. 'A Prayer Before Birth' chronicles, with disturbing intensity, the physical and emotional traumas of a young woman's journey from able-bodied exuberance to the acceptance of disability.

Confronts debilitating illness with creative vitality, simultaneously desperate and defiant.
