Jonathan Glazer,
Birth takes place in New York's Upper East Side, where
Anna (
Nicole Kidman), a 35-year-old widow, resides. Just as
Anna has shaken off what she thought were the final remnants of her old life -- she has even found love with a new man,
Joseph (
Danny Huston), whom she plans on marrying --
Sean (
Cameron Bright), a ten-year-old boy, comes into her life insisting that he is the reincarnation of her late husband. Though she initially brushes off the boy's claims as the result of a crush on her, his grave demeanor and uncanny knowledge of her life leads
Anna through a self-reevaluation that not only threatens her marital plans with
Joseph (
Huston), but also strains her relationship with her mother,
Eleanor (
Lauren Bacall).
