The film, through exploring the pregnancy, allows all kinds of unrealistic situations. Pictures of a pregnant woman, in all kinds of helpless positions on the couch, always in the same corner of the room, are mixed with pictures of passages, daylight, darkness, shadows on the walls and the ceiling. Laying there helplessly in expectation, she is amused by the projections, which should show how time passes by very slowly. The movement of the pregnant woman is in animation, as in life, reduced. The choice of music and sounds in this film is essential, as it needs to contribute to the atmosphere of fatigue, helplessness, boredom and expectation.
