An unexpected bond develops between a student and her teacher when they both find out they’re pregnant at the same time, as they deal with the challenges of motherhood from diametrically different perspectives. An endlessly generous film with two fittingly affectionate performances by Cobie Smulders and young Gail Bean.

An ambitious 30-year-old teacher and her most promising student discover they're pregnant at the same time, shortly before the end of the school year. An unexpected bond develops between them, as they deal with the challenges of motherhood from diametrically different perspectives... Following in the aesthetic footsteps of the new generation of American independent filmmakers, who have adopted pure unadulterated realism for the past decade, Kris Swanberg's new movie avoids contrived emotion in order to weave an exquisitely humane narrative with a documentary-like approach. Lively and upbeat "Unexpected" deals with life from a totally honest perspective with a refreshing sense of humor, boasting a wonderful performance from the delightful Cobie Smulders and young Gail Bean. An endlessly generous film with both feet planted firmly on the ground that will make your heart burst with love without resorting to superficial sentimentalism.
