Synopsis:

Marc Foster's shivery domestic drama, about a glowing, young suburban mother (Radha Mitchell) who loses her baby boy to sudden infant death syndrome, is drenched in eerie sound effects that lend the movie a varnish of supernatural horror. The soundtrack is regularly punctuated by ominous heartbeats. Visually, the movie evokes the murky atmosphere of a ghost story. And the deliberately jarring cinematography contributes to a mood of escalating menace. But what it turns out to be is a finely acted expressionistic critique of the suburban baby culture and its joys, fears and fetishes. Stephen Holden , The New York Tim

Angie and Russ, a young, well-off, loving suburban couple, eagerly await the birth of their first child. Angie''s friends are also pregnant and together their worlds revolve around babies, husbands and the rituals of family life. When an unexpected tragedy befalls Angie and Russ, the community that they were once integrally involved in begins to disappear. Their fair-weather friends, unable to find a way to console or share the couple''s grief, simply withdraw, leaving Angie and her husband alone in their sorrow and in their darkest hours of need. Angie''s grief begins to drive her to act out in strange and frightening ways.
