Naissances examines an ephemeral connection between strangers and the false hope borne of living in a moment that both does and does not belong to you. Young Camille has just had an abortion and is hitchhiking home when she meets Pierre, an older man who refurbishes furniture. During their journey, both tell lies about their personal lives that are disquieting, but which build a certain hopefulness between them.
