The 46 Year Pregnancy

In 1955, in a small village outside Casablanca, 26-year-old Zahra was pregnant with her first child. But after 48 hours of painful labor the baby was still not born. She was rushed to the local hospital, but in the ward she saw a woman in terrible pain dying in childbirth. Convinced she would suffer the same fate Zahra fled the hospital and returned home to her village.

In the days that followed Zahra suffered excruciating labor pains but still the baby would not come. After a few days the pain stopped and the baby stopped moving. She believed in a local superstition known as "sleeping baby" and that one day her baby would wake up. Soon villagers began to talk and came up with their own theories about what had happened to Zahra's baby....
