Between Heaven and Earth
Sur la terre comme au ciel
1992 · Film · 80 min
Directed by Marion Hänsel
Maria Garcia (Carmen Maura) is a television journalist and she's about to be a single mother. Her career foremost in her mind, she doesn't slow down even for a minute, despite her pregnancy. She is, however, taking Lamaze classes and is quite competently coping with the romantic attentions of a man she's not very interested in. It's not at all irrelevant that her news beat includes stories on terrorism, the greenhouse effect, pollution and genetic engineering, because when her baby's due date comes and goes, she starts hearing from her infant from in the womb. It is telling her that it and many other babies are refusing to be born into such a horrible world. She learns that this is true, and that the children born through induced labor are dying.

There's a great scene in Oliver Stone's movie "Heaven And Earth", where the refugee from the Viet Nam war goes into an American supermarket for the first time, and it's just overwhelming.
Haven't seen a supermarket the same way since.
