It's not love, it's semen.

DramaComedy

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.

VIBE

This film feels like a raw, unflinching look at an unexpected pregnancy. It blends dark humor with genuine anxiety, using animated interludes to externalize the protagonist's internal turmoil. It's a deeply personal and often uncomfortable, yet ultimately relatable, experience.
