Blessed Events

German writer and director Isabelle Stever uses a woman's raging hormones as the basis for a character study in this drama. A young woman who becomes pregnant after a one-night stand has a hard time to accept her good fortune when she finds love and support from the father of her child. Everybody knows about a woman's physical and psychological transformation during pregnancy but it has been rarely exposed on the screen in the way Stever and her cast and crew explore which makes for fascinating drama.
