Infant

About This Movie

So, 'Infant' is this quiet little gem from 2006 that really digs into the struggles of single motherhood. Inga, the main character, feels very real, you know? Her journey is filled with longing and disappointment, and you just get a sense of her desperation to find love and stability for her son, Kostya. The pacing is slow, but it builds this palpable tension as her life takes a turn when she meets Andrei, a cardiac surgeon. Their romance is intense but feels grounded, not overly dramatic. The performances carry a rawness that makes it distinct. It's not flashy—no big-budget effects or wild plots—but instead, it’s this intimate study of love, loss, and the complexities of human connection. Really strikes a chord if you’re into character-driven stories.
