Plot

An inner-city high school teacher discovers she is pregnant at the same time as one of her most promising students and the two develop an unlikely friendship while struggling to navigate their unexpected pregnancies.

Sinekatalog’s take

A city schoolteacher and one of her brightest students discover they are pregnant at the same time and form an unlikely bond. The film keeps its tone low-key and honest, more interested in conversation than melodrama. A modest, sympathetic indie for those who like small human stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
