Directors statement 
“I made this film to give people a character that's in opposition to the polished world around us. With the feeling of ambivalence towards the baby inside her Rakel (23) tries to deal with her unwanted pregnancy. On that journey I hope to discuss issues of gender and parenthood. I wanted to make a funny movie about a serious topic.”
