Little Swelling, A

A drama shot on location in Reykjavík which deals with the pregnancy of a 16 year old schoolgirl and the effect it has on her life. This is an unusual look at a classic situation through the eyes of the young mother-to-be. Humour heightens the refreshingly new treatment of the subject matter.
