Sophiiiie!<br />
Sophie is pregnant, but doesn’t know who the child’s father is. In the night before<br />
her abortion appointment, she steals her boyfriend’s motorcycle and races through<br />
town with suicidal intention. After surviving that, to her surprise, she steps on the gas<br />
even more: straight as an arrow and with the impact of a falling rock, desperately<br />
seeking to find out just what it is she really wants. She finally makes her decision, but<br />
the brakes fail at the last minute …<br />
