Ovary-acting

A harried thirty-something is forced to decide whether she wants to be a mother after unexpectedly giving birth to her reproductive organs at her sister’s baby shower.

Surrounded by babies at her sister’s baby shower, EVA (34) is forced to fend off questions left, right and centre about when she’ll be starting a family of her own. As the questions overwhelm her, Eva’s stomach sears with pain. She excuses herself to the bathroom where her flat stomach suddenly swells and she finds herself in labour. Eva pushes and screams as new life is unexpectedly forced out of her. As the pain subsides she finds herself confronted not with a newborn but with OVY, her baby-loving reproductive organs.

Ovary-Acting will premiere in competition at Annecy Film Festival 2025!

The film is co-produced with Jante Films in UK and Apparat Film and Film i Väst in Sweden, and is further supported by Norwegian Film Institute, Midtnorsk Filmsenter, Swedish Film Institute and Parasol Foundation.
