Review

The challenges faced by disabled women in pregnancy and childbirth are likely not unique to Korea. However, considering the societal aversion and prejudice towards disabilities in Korean society, the choice for disabled women becomes even more daunting. Eunjin's hesitation about whether to inform her husband of her pregnancy is also thus related. Even the obstetrician advises her to choose quickly, with the warning that abortion will become more difficult as the baby grows. Of course, Eunjin faces the biggest decision to make. If the child is born with a disability, she will bear the greatest responsibility for her decision to give birth. Moreover, her contemplation over the prenatal screening may stem not just from the concern about the child's disability but also from her fear of making an unethical choice if the child is diagnosed as disabled. Between the two of us, a film that serves as a wake-up call to how indifferent we are regarding the pregnancies and childbirth of disabled women, portrays Eunjin’s inner turmoil as the due date approaches through cinematic gaze. Interestingly, actress Kim Sieun, who convincingly portrays Eunjin, a pregnant woman grappling with both determination and fear in this film, also plays a woman suffering from the agony of infertility in the film Deprivation in the Korean Competition section.
