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.

Gosto de como o bebê ganha consciência em forma de animação, os diálogos da protagonista com a amiga são sempre geniais e caóticos, e das situações em que ela se enfia pra entender como o bebê vai ser criado e se cabe uma criança na vida que futuramente ela teria. Tudo num roteiro que acerta no ritmo, com humor e pausas incômodas.

Loved how it managed to be fun and engaging while still treating the subject matter with sincerity. Many movies would just have it be a miserable existential journey which I don’t hate at all but it’s impressive they managed to find the perfect balance. 

Best thing about it without a doubt is in my opinion the fact that this didn’t end on her finally seeing a baby as a beautiful blessing and accepting that she’s going to be a mother because that’s clearly what this wasn’t about at all. Regardless of whether you think having a baby is a blessing or not; it’s going to shift your life in a hugeeee way and just not being ready for that or not wanting that shift at all isn’t unreasonable. Of course you want the best for your baby but should you throw away your own life just so another one gets to be happy? Personally I don’t think so and I’m glad the movie seems to agree
