Call the Midwife
Call the Midwife tells the impressive story of nurses and midwives working in the East End, a district of London where births were high in the 1950s.
This film strongly emphasizes female solidarity and reveals the social difficulties of the period, poverty, and limited opportunities of health services.
As the main character Jenny Lee tries to adjust to her new role as a nurse, she witnesses the lives of various families and communities in the area. The film centers not only on Jenny's story, but also on the lives of the nuns and other midwives she works with. The characters’ warm relationships with each other, how they cope with challenges and adapt to changes in society create a deep emotional connection for viewers.
This impressive production shows that not only births but also every stage of life are a celebration.
