Tarachime is a documentary film which observes 'life' through childbirth. Kawase Naomi, a film director working under the theme of family, life and death, presents the bond of life through her own childbirth experience. "First, I was planning to film from the day I conceived a child and to the moment I gave birth. But I realized, while filming, that this is not the story of "one life." In the end, the film sublimed to a higher stage on which we can witness the knot tying one life with another."

Acompanhando ao mesmo tempo o nascimento de seu filho e o envelhecimento de sua avó, Naomi Kawase investiga a partir de imagens cotidianas a constituição de suas relações familiares e os estágios da vida.
