Orla Walsh’s irreverent nativity tale of a woman who seeks divine intervention when she thinks she is pregnant but is unsure who the father is. Filmmaker Orla Walsh has made several short dramas, some serious, some comedic and all foregrounding women’s issues viewed through a feminist lens. Here she addresses the serious issue of unplanned pregnancy but with a bold and humorous tone. She is well served by her cast which includes Stella Feehily, Paul Roe and Conor Mullen.
