Written by Cinobo

Nominated for the John Cassavetes Award at the Independent Spirit Awards, Alex Thompson's directorial debut is a film full of warmth, honesty, and subversive humour, touching with courage and disarming sensitivity taboo subjects of female self-determination and human connection.

Synopsis

A 34-year-old woman, with no clear direction in life, takes a job as a nanny for a young girl. As she forms a deep bond with the child, she is confronted with an unwanted pregnancy. Torn by doubt and the possibility of abortion, she embarks on a deeply personal journey of self-discovery.
