Birth tells the story of Anna, a young widow who is finally getting on with her life after the death of her husband, Sean.
Now engaged to be married, Anna meets a ten-year-old boy who tells her he is Sean reincarnated.
Though his story is both unsettling and absurd, Anna can't get the boy out of her mind.
And much to the concern of her fiancée, her increased contact with him leads her to question the
choices she has made in her life.
