When Rakel (23), way too late, finds out she's six months pregnant after a not-so-romantic one-night stand, her world changes. Her boyfriend, who's not the father, is kind of ok with her having a baby. But Rakel is absolutely not ready for being a mother. Since abortion is no longer an option, adoption is the only answer. That's when Ninjababy, an animated character who insists on making Rakel's everyday life a living hell, turns up. He climbs out from her note book, jumps into her tea cup, and tells her what a bad person she is.

On paper, some of this sounds irritatingly quirky, but it's a film that really offers an honest look at a woman's life... Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage 08/30/2022
Differentiating itself from Juno's puritan discourse, Ninjababy finds a safe space to consider a woman's options outside of having a traditional family, and on top of that, it's fun. A well-rounded work. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) 06/10/2022
... Committed and original, alternative and in some ways complacent. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Mariona Borrull Fotogramas 06/09/2022
