Short Film: Baby Boom (2023)

Synopsis

An injured man staggers down the street. He goes into the hospital and says his friends’ stomach was ripped open. The doctor wonders if the man is on drugs, so the man tells his story…

We see a news report about a missing woman, one of several. We see the from earlier, Runar, with his friend Peder, at the bar having a beer. They leave and see a meteorite crash nearby. Ten missing girls suddenly reappear as mysteriously as they disappeared.

We then cut to one of the girls, and she’s not quite normal any more, more like an animal. What exactly has happened? All they can say is “Man.”

Runar gets lucky at the bar that night. Or maybe not so lucky…

It all looks really good. We have a pretty good idea of why the girls are acting off, but no one else figures it out. It’s really weird, but it’s also pretty hilarious.
