CGiii Comment

The things men do...to not have children...and, what women do when they decide that they do.

This film is a male-bashing fiesta - never in cinematic history has a woman been converted to lesbianism so quickly.

This was a film school project that went big.

Before committing to film, the director - rather than apologizing afterwards - should have had forethought and planning.

And, perhaps, there would have been less of the flaws and searing mistakes.

However...there is a glimmer of talent in evidence.

The(ir) Blurb...

Longtime couple Venla and Antero come to a serious impasse. After years with Antero, Venla wants to start a family, but her boyfriend, worried that parenthood will stifle his speed-skating career, secretly gets a vasectomy. Determined to have a child, Venla seeks help from a female fertility doctor, a decision that breeds new possibilities for the prospective mother when she falls in love with the doctor.
