When Rakel finds out she’s six months pregnant after a not-so-romantic one-night stand, her world changes. Since abortion no longer possible, adoption is her only solution. That’s when Ninjababy turns up, an animated character from Rakel’s imagination. He climbs out from her notebook with one goal – making Rakel doubt her decision. With a combination of live action and animation, the film moves playfully between comedy and desperate existentialism.
