film profile], premiering in the Generation 14plus section of this yearâs Berlinale, when Rakel (
Kristine Kujath Thorp) finds out she s pregnant, she is in for another surprise: she is already six months along and the chance for abortion has passed. Before making any decisions, she starts drawing her âsneaky ninjababyâ. And it s a talkative one.
Cineuropa: Whenever I watch a film about pregnancy, a mother-to-be usually looks her child in the eyes and everything changes forever. Rakel wouldn t buy that, I assume?
Yngvild Sve Flikke: I wanted to raise some questions about motherhood. Is it something that just comes naturally to everyone, or is it different for each one of us? In most of my work, I like to question gender limits. Can we really say that something is inherently âfemaleâ or âmaleâ? I don t believe that.
