Donna Stern is a comedienne from Brooklyn who has a very unfunny meltdown on stage after finding out that her best friend has been sleeping with her boyfriend. Subsequently, she loses her stage residency and seeks comfort in her supportive parents and the friends she can still trust. In a bid to ease her pain, she makes a brave move to venture out of her home and she eventually meets a handsome man of a similar personality named Max. He is intrigued by her unapologetic honesty and boundless energy but, after their one night stand, Donna finds herself with one more huge problem. She is now pregnant and feeling pretty dead set on having an abortion, but first she has to tell Max; something that proves harder than it sounds when it becomes obvious that he has made her feel happy again.

'Obvious Child' is a charming comedy romance directed and written by Gillian Robespierre in her full-length film debut and based on her 2009 short film co-written by Anna Bean and Karen Maine. The movie was nominated for two awards at the Rotterdam International Film Festival and is set to be released in the US on June 6th 2014.
