Plot

In the heart of domestic bliss, Johanna, a loving wife and mother to a 7-year-old cherub, finds her life inexplicably shattered one fateful night. She unexpectedly gives birth, a shock so potent it pushes her to abandon the newborn. Discovered alive, the baby becomes a symbol of Johanna's alleged attempted infanticide - a charge she vehemently disputes, her mind a whirl of confusion as she insists she was never pregnant. Her once serene existence spirals into a whirlpool of disgrace as she's hauled before the court, her every action picked apart. The scrutiny extends beyond the cold courtroom, reaching into her intimate familial sphere as she's compelled to justify her bewildering actions to her loved ones. Amidst the turmoil, Johanna is faced with the daunting task of forming a maternal bond with her unexpected child. Armed with a fierce determination, the support of a diligent lawyer, and the kindness of a charity, Johanna decides to wage a battle not just for her sake, but for all women who've endured the baffling phenomenon of pregnancy denial. The Unexpected Child (2019) weaves a poignant tale of a woman's struggle to reclaim her life, challenge societal norms, and form an unanticipated bond with her newborn.
