STORY

“Janna & Liv” is a raging roadmovie about two pregnant women whos paths involuntarily cross in a packed emergency room. Janna – filled with anxiety over giving birth – is on her way to work when she starts getting contractions. Liv is having a scheduled ceasarian and is not about to let anything stop her from making her routine check-up with the midwife before rushing on to look at an apartment. When Janna and Liv meet they are mercilessly thrown out of the past and future and straight in to the present.
