How does one live with the unbearable? When the worst has happened and the one to blame is yourself? The documentary film is an exploration of the lives of parents who have caused their own children's deaths, encompassing many different situations in life where tragedy hits and someone is at fault. There is, however, something about what these parents have done that seems to trigger a specific social rage and condemnation. Because what kind of parent forgets a baby in a car?

| Comment | World premiere in the Dragon Award competition at Göteborg Film Festival 2017. For their previous film, Pervert Park (2014), the directors won the Sundance Film Festival’s Special Jury Award for Impact. That film also confronted a taboo subject, following the everyday lives of a group of sex offenders in a Florida trailer park trying to find their way back into society. |
