The Odyssey of life

This three-part scientific mini-series is a panorama of the current state of our awareness of embryonic and foetal development, intra-uterine life and the bonds between the mother and baby-to-be. It focuses on the latest mysteries of fertilization, the subtle play of heredity, the chemical exchanges between mother and foetus, the development of senses and cognitive capacities in a baby, the factors that trigger actual birth, and, in-vitro fertilization, medically assisted procreation and the thorny question of genetic manipulation.

  • ""The Odyssey of Life is the inside story on the nine months of gestation which we have all experienced but can't remember. The Odyssey of Life is a three-part series that explores the two interrelated worlds of the baby-to-be and the mother-to-be. First, we are taken into the domain of the foetus - by its side within the maternal matrix - showing its stages of physical, sensory and cognitive development and culminating in its emergence at birth. Viewers become explorers in its world, showing the complex and wondrous workings of the "living factory" that a woman becomes during the nine months of her pregnancy. Second, we are given an external view, following the daily dramas, emotions and reflections of a young Italian woman pregnant for the first time. Her relationship with her partner, their excitement over conceiving, the fluctuation of emotions throughout the pregnancy and her growing relationship with the child developing within her are documented in a diary-style format."--Product description."
