This film touched me on so many levels. I loved the story and the vulnerability of the lead actor as she goes through her pregnancy journey. Truly thought this film was one of a kind and I am so excited to share it with everyone.

It tells the harrowing story of a brave woman choosing to have a baby by herself, and then covid hits. Especially for people who went through more during covid then the average person (I did) this will speak to you. Loved it, it felt real.
A bit more than what a grumpy old man couldve expected out of a corona inspired diy homemade film project, where the core issue is to be alone and to become pregnant when the world shuts down around you, jobs evaporating like water on a cooking plate, and things you take for granted becomes a deadly task to reach when whaling around in uncertainty.
Its a feelful story told trough facetime and cellphone audio, and goes into a more introspective documentary style the last 3rd part of the story. The amazing thing though is that this is a real pregnancy and a realborn creature of the human race . So if you dont feel the issues of it all in the enbd, then you are some kind of phatic with a negative digt in front.
Its not a marvellous film by all means, but it tells a pretty realistic story, so if youve got time to spend, and feel a bit pregnant yourself then have a go.

I can't even imagine the anxiety of being pregnant during COVID. I really admire these courageous filmmakers for fighting off their fears -- and turning on their cameras. They found a compelling story with moments of crisis and joy... and even some humor in the situation. I thought it was amazing to see the pregnancy recorded over time, a real woman's expanding body with nothing to hide. This was an interesting blend of fiction and nonfiction, the filmmakers bearing witness to a dark time in our lives -- definitely worth watching!
My wife was pregnant during Covid last year and this movie really portrayed that struggle. It's authentic and brave to film a movie like this while pregnant and going through the pandemic. Definitely relatable and worth watching.
