Short filmTranscript
00:01I heard I was pregnant. I was about to tell my husband, Alexander, the good news.
00:05But then I saw an Instagram posted notification, a pregnancy test result, two pink lines with
00:13the father's name clearly written, Alexander Grant. The poster was Evelyn Shaw, the widow
00:18of his deceased friend. Her caption read, thank you for donating your sperm and personally
00:24performing my IVF procedure, Alex. I'll never be alone again. I composed myself and called
00:32Alexander to demand an explanation. Give me an explanation about Evelyn. Ethan was my best
00:41friend. He died, leaving his wife alone. I just wanted to help her fulfill their wish. In that
00:47moment, I knew this marriage needed to end. I always thought the collapse of a marriage
00:53was gradual. But that morning, I realized sometimes it only takes one social media post. After
01:02seeing Evelyn's Instagram post, I scheduled an abortion for tomorrow. That's when Alexander
01:07came home. In one hand, he carried a bag from the lab. In the other, a bag from my favorite
01:16French patisserie. How ironic. He still remembered I loved their lemon tarts.
01:25Clara, I brought you some pastries.
01:28I could smell the sterile disinfectant from his lab mixed with perfume. It made me want
01:33to vomit.
01:34What's wrong, baby?
01:36Don't touch me.
01:37You're still angry.
01:42That post you saw is just a misunderstanding. Evelyn is emotionally unstable. I didn't want
01:47her to feel abandoned by the world.
01:52Oh, so you used your own sperm and personally performed the IVF procedure to make her feel
01:57cared for?
01:58Don't use that tone. It's not as sordid as you think. It's part of a research project.
02:03The company needs experimental data, and she happened to need it a child.
02:10Research. The donation consent form you signed. The father's name isn't Grant Biotech. It's
02:14Alexander Grant. Did the company require your full name, or did you volunteer it?
02:21You're being too emotional. Ethan is dead. I have a responsibility to care for Evelyn.
02:26You should understand.
02:29I just want to know, in your dictionary, does responsibility include betrayal?
02:36Clara, I know you care, but I'm the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. You know what my
02:41profession requires. You shouldn't make such a big deal out of this.
02:48Did I? When Ethan first died, I sympathized with Evelyn too, so I always took care of her.
02:56Invited her to our home for dinner. Included her when I went shopping. I gave her gifts.
03:02When appliances broke at her place, Alexander and I would go over to help repair them.
03:08At the time, Evelyn said to me with red-rimmed eyes,
03:13If Ethan were still here, you wouldn't have to be troubled with these things.
03:20It's nothing. Don't be so formal with us.
03:23But later, Evelyn's relationship with Alexander gradually changed. Alexander would accompany her
03:29to the Super Malone. Help her shoes furniture. Drive her to the hospital in the middle of the night when
03:36she was sick.
03:37Whenever I felt he was going too far, Alexander would say that Ethan was his most important friend and helping
03:42care of his wife was his responsibility.
03:44I had wanted to have a proper conversation with him, but Alexander's attitude left me speechless.
03:50I think we should cool off.
03:54Where could he go this time? It must be Evelyn.
03:59Soon, I received a story update notification on my Instagram. It was from Evelyn.
04:06Looking at that photo, I couldn't help but laugh at my own foolishness.
04:14Maybe I should end this marriage sooner.
04:23The next morning, I put on sunglasses and a mask, clutching the hospital payment slip.
04:28I sat in the waiting area, waiting to have an abortion.
04:31Just then, I heard someone laughing softly down the corridor.
04:35The voice was soft, familiar.
04:38Alexander was looking down at Evelyn's ultrasound report.
04:42Evelyn pointed at something on report.
04:45A smile on her lips.
04:48Alexander's eyes held a rare gentleness and a hopingness toward Heiner.
04:53The scene was too ironic.
04:55I suddenly felt like an audience member who had wandered onto the wrong set.
04:59I was about to turn and leave, but just as I stood up, Alexander looked up at me.
05:05Our eyes met.
05:07His look.
05:08Shock, annoyance, and in that instant,
05:11worry-ness.
05:13I'll never forget it.
05:16Are you following me?
05:18This is a public hospital, not your private laboratory.
05:21Do I need your permission to be here?
05:28Alex, don't be like this.
05:30Maybe it's a missing misunderstanding.
05:34Clara, please don't misunderstand.
05:38I know this is hard for you, but I just want a child.
05:42After Ethan left, I've been so lonely.
05:49If you just wanted a child, this city had countless sperm banks.
05:54Why choose my husband?
05:57Loneliness doesn't give you the right to steal someone else's family for warmth.
06:02Evelyn.
06:08Evelyn, be careful.
06:10Don't get upset.
06:13She's pregnant!
06:15Do you realize you almost made her fall?
06:20I didn't touch her.
06:21But you provoked her!
06:29Clara, you've gone too far.
06:31She's carrying Ethan's child, and you're still pushing her like this?
06:40Ethan's child, but whose name is written in the father column?
06:42Have you forgotten?
06:46I only donated sperm.
06:48Her child has nothing to do with me.
06:51Nothing to do with you?
06:55Then why did you personally accompany her for prenatal check-ups?
07:00Why you, and not Ethan's family?
07:05I suddenly felt exhausted.
07:07I watched them.
07:10Him carefully supporting her as they walked out.
07:13While I stood at the end of the corridor like an outsider.
07:18Alexander.
07:23If I came here today for an abortion,
07:28would you stay?
07:30You what?
07:36Clara, don't try to deceive me with words like that.
07:39No matter what, I won't abandon Evelyn.
07:48You really need to see a therapist.
07:52Let's go.
07:53I stood there watching them leave when suddenly I heard the nurse calling my number.
07:59It's my turn for the surgery.
08:04The abortion surgery ended quickly.
08:08That night, I returned to the apartment alone.
08:11The place was pitch dark.
08:12I suddenly realized I should also draft a new contract for my own life.
08:18Professional habit made me instinctively write logically riggist terms.
08:23Article 1.
08:25Both parties voluntarily dissolve the marriage without fraud or coercion.
08:29Article 2.
08:30Property division follows fair principles, with equity under both names liquidated proportionally.
08:36Article 3.
08:37Neither party may interfere with the other's life under any pretext.
08:42When I reached Article 3, I stopped writing.
08:46It turned out even emotional termination could be formatted into legal documentation by me.
08:52At this moment, the screen lit up with an Instagram notification.
08:58Avalyn had posted.
09:02He's making dinner for me.
09:04The doctor said I have no appetite, but he's more worried than anyone.
09:07A man who once pulled three all-nighters for the global biotech summit
09:12was now carefully preparing meals for another in the Mjormansvenskness.
09:17Laughable and pathetic.
09:20A few days later, Alexander called.
09:23His tone was commanding.
09:24Come home for dinner tonight.
09:27I have cases to handle.
09:29Mom wants to see you.
09:34I wanted to refuse, but somehow, I went anyway.
09:41Clara, you're here.
09:44Alex said you haven't been feeling well lately.
09:47You should eat more.
09:49I sincerely hope you'll feel better soon.
09:51Don't get me wrong.
09:52Auntie specifically asked me to stay for a few days to rest properly during the pregnancy.
10:00Oh.
10:01Are you comfortable here?
10:03Clara, you've been married all these years without giving our family a child.
10:08Now that Evelyn is carrying Alex's child, I'm someone needs to care for her.
10:13I'm having her move in.
10:14You don't mind, do you?
10:15Of course not.
10:23Do you really think that?
10:25Yes.
10:28Remake the master bedroom on the second floor that faces the sun.
10:32Evelyn needs proper rest during her pregnancy.
10:34Yes, madam.
10:35It's good that Alex values loyalty, otherwise I wouldn't have a grandchild.
10:41Values loyalty.
10:42I found it ironic.
10:43If Ethan knew his wife was pregnant with his best friend's child, he'd probably cough up blood.
10:49Are you still angry, Clara?
10:52I'm sorry.
10:54I just wanted to have my own child.
10:58Don't mind her.
10:59The child in your belly is Alex's and my grandchild.
11:04It must be born.
11:08When the child is born, remember to call me.
11:13Mommy.
11:19Clara, I'm sorry.
11:21This situation must hurt you.
11:22If Ethan hadn't left so suddenly, I wouldn't have...
11:26I'm just afraid of being alone.
11:28Don't touch me.
11:34Clara, please don't hate me, okay?
11:40Evelyn!
11:48I never expected you to be so vicious.
11:55Are you bullying Evelyn again?
12:01Wasn't your performance at the hospital enough?
12:05Now you even want to push her over the edge.
12:16Fine.
12:18Fine.
12:19Fine.
12:20Fine.
12:23Let's get divorced.
12:25Equity and joint property liquidated according to Article 2's proportions.
12:31Real estate returned to respective names.
12:35Article 3.
12:36Neither party interfered the other's life under any pretext.
12:43Don't you need peace and quiet for the pregnancy?
12:46Perfect.
12:47Perfect.
12:48Perfect.
12:48Perfect.
12:49Perfect.
12:51Perfect.
12:52Perfect.
12:54Perfect.
13:10Oh my God.
13:12Why is she bleeding so much?
13:14Call an ambulance.
13:16Clara.
13:18Clara.
13:21I don't know.
13:35you're awake still here didn't die don't talk nonsense the doctor said you had severe
13:44hemorrhaging after the surgery if we hadn't gotten you here in time

15:00you would get an abortion alexander i told you that day at the hospital do you think marriage is an
15:07experiment when something goes wrong you just fix it when the data looks bad you just delete it
15:16unfortunately i'm not your test subject i didn't know i thought you were joking that child
15:22he was our first child i never wanted to lose him either clara
15:30but you were busy being someone else's father that child didn't need to compete with you for the role
15:37don't come near me the smell on you makes me want to vomit

15:54alexander stood there as if the words had completely struck him he just looked at me like
15:59that as if seeing me for the first time clara you really want to be this absolute should i continue
16:07letting you live with evelyn or would you like me to join your research project and study psychological
16:12recovery mechanisms and betrayed individuals you know what i spent all night thinking through
16:17everything
16:20our marriage died long ago you just kept using it as a test subject seeing how long it could last
16:26clara i really didn't know about your pregnancy if i had known if you'd known
16:34that day at the hospital you held evelyn and didn't even look at me
16:38you thought i was just being emotional but i actually went through with it
16:45i sent that child away alone no one was with me
16:54no one needed to be
17:01i shouldn't have treated you that way of course you shouldn't have but you did
17:06at this moment the hospital room fell silent except for the sound of breathing clara we can start
17:13over without evelyn without those misunderstandings i can make it up to you make it up
17:21compensation is for victims and i don't need it

18:08at least not the me i am now
18:19alexander's hand hovered over the divorce agreement but never moved i already knew the answer he wouldn't sign
18:25he'd always been that kind of person rational to the point of cruelty but once he lost control
18:32he'd desperately try to restore the appearance of order clara i won't sign you can refuse but that
18:38doesn't stop me from filing in 30 days the court will grant the divorce anyway i won't let you go
