Stitches
Eighteen years after the sudden death of her newborn son, Ana still believes he has really been kidnapped and sold for adoption, as kidnappings of babies from Serbian maternity wards were a relatively frequent matter. She soon comes up with a new lead that gives her hope she might finally find him. In her search for the truth, Ana will fight not only the police and the hospital, but her own family as well: her caring husband and estranged daughter.
