What happens

Life After Life is a 2022 British television miniseries created and written by playwright Bash Doran that adapts the 2013 novel Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. The series was directed by John Crowley. It follows the story of Ursula Todd, a woman in the first half of the 20th century who experiences an endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. The protagonist Ursula Todd dies one night in 1910 before she can draw her first breath. On that same night, she is reborn and survives. Living and dying in different circumstances time and again, Ursula is reborn into new and alternative lives. The story follows Ursula as she navigates each life through a critical era that spans two world wars. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
