Mama Jaky, also known as Victoria (in Tanzania a mother changes her name by taking the one from the firstborn) is 22 years old and she lives with her family in Ipamba, a small village of a few hundred inhabitants, near Iringa, Tanzania. Terrible news burst into her everyday life: her son wouldn't be born. The story follows her attempts to complete a complex childbirth, as all the childbirths in Africa. A child will be born and she will be called Paulina. The documentary navigates backwards, to give to the universal, about the experience of a stranger during one of the most delicate moments of her life, management and childbirth. 

Paolo Bernardi was born in 1985 in Cittadella. Following his graduation at Dams of Gorizia he studied in Paris and Prague; he graduated from Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia di Milano in December 2010 and he's specialized in advertising and documentaries. This influence led him to develop a personal language related to docu-fiction, with a strong narrative also in the documentary. Among his works: "Federico Borromeo e l'Ambrosiana" (2012) on the famous library of Milan and "Asini e Scienziati" (2012), a documentary that explores the places of the natural park of Lessinia.
