When a pregnant woman is bequeathed a home from an estranged aunt, she and her girlfriend leave the city behind to begin new chapter. But when a karmic debt threatens the life of their unborn child, they soon discover their place in the cursed history of the town.
A sapphic slow cooker of folklore and superstition, BIRTHRITE oozes with atmosphere, carries an important and prescient maternal message and presents that maybe IVF actually stands for In Vitro Fear.
Movie Equation: ROSEMARY'S BABY + WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE = BIRTHRITE
