JUNO



A wonderful movie where teenage pregnancy is dealt with in a creative, different manner.

Juno is a sixteen year old high school student faced with an unexpected pregnancy. The father is another teenager who she doesn't consider to be her boyfriend. She wants it to go away like a bad dream, but she realizes she needs to take control of the situation and she undergoes a series of difficult situations in a very easy-going way. She asks for advice, she thinks of having abortion and she even thinks of giving her baby in adption. Will it be easy to find the perfect couple?...
