17 Seconds to Sophie (1998)

The sound of a ticking kitchen timer introduces a slim nude woman who is standing in semiprofile against a bare offwhite wall Her expression is impassive Her image flickers slightly and we watch her abdomen grow realizing we are seeing a timelapse sequence of her pregnancy After 17 seconds the timer rings a baby appears in her arms and the timelapse gives way to real time A mothers beatific smile appears as she cuddles the child
