Title: The Uninvited Arrival: A Hilarious Take on Motherhood in 'Baby Ninja'

When Rakel, a 23-year-old graphic design dropout, discovers she's pregnant after a one-night stand with her dorky aikido teacher Mos, she's appalled. She books an abortion appointment, but things take an unexpected turn when the clinic reveals she's actually seven months along. As Rakel navigates this unwanted pregnancy, she's forced to confront her maternal instincts and the societal expectations that come with it.

In the midst of this chaos, Rakel finds solace in her artistic pursuits, doodling a scrawny, ugly foetus with a black mask – which she dubs 'Ninjababy.' This humorous take on motherhood is expertly woven throughout the film, showcasing the complexities and absurdities of pregnancy.

As Rakel struggles to come to terms with her situation, she's joined by her creative soulmate best friend Ingrid, who offers a fresh perspective on nurturing and nurturing one's own life. Meanwhile, Mos, the absent father figure, proves endearing in his attempts to support Rakel through this unexpected journey.

Director Yngvild Sve Flikke masterfully crafts a narrative that challenges societal norms around motherhood, presenting a story that's both unapologetic and uncompromising. The film's unique blend of humor, wit, and pathos makes it a standout in the world of comedy-dramas.

Baby Ninja Trio, a limited edition set of poseable Calico Critters baby figures in ninja costumes, is a delightful accompaniment to this hilarious and thought-provoking film. As Rakel embarks on her uninvited journey into motherhood, she proves that even the most unexpected arrivals can lead to growth, transformation, and a newfound appreciation for life.
