A darkly comedic coming-of-age drama about an unprepared woman navigating unwanted pregnancy, anchored by the surreal presence of an animated antagonist that embodies her inner turmoil.

When Rakel finds out she's six months pregnant after a one-night stand, her world changes. She is absolutely not ready to be a mother, but since abortion is no longer an option, adoption is the only answer. That's when Ninjababy, an animated character who makes Rakel's life a living hell, turns up.
