Color footage of the last moments of labor. Lots of headroom in this single shot, as the mother herself is below the edge of the frame. Doctors and nurses, in sterile white room, could be gathered around the barbecue for all we can tell, which certainly dates the film. The doctor's hands are out of the frame and after a second they come up with a real live baby, which he holds upside down and immediately takes to a side table with the nurses. Slow, awkward movement - these almost look like actors.
