SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you do when you find out that you are expecting a disabled child? Based on this question, Thomas F\u00fcrhapter develops his complex film essay: The third option places individual fates in the age of prenatal diagnostics and biopolitics in a radically contemporary and socio-political context. Layer by layer, the film reveals fundamental questions about birth, ethics and norms – turning what affects only a few into something that concerns everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An explosive film about the biopolitical implications of prenatal diagnostics and a cinematic essay that does not answer any questions – nor does it presume to pass moral judgement. But it dares to ask the questions that arise in connection with this controversial topic loud and clear. First and foremost: are we actually still normal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
