Movie Haiku:CIFF 2010: Lea and Harry have good jobs and strong marriage. But when Lea agrees to have a baby that Harry wants, she doesn''''t reckon on the magnitude of the commitment she has taken on. After going off the deep end, she gradually builds up the resouces she needs under institution care. Carice van Houten''''s protrayal of Lea''''s breakdown is intense and entralling.
