Father to Be

Father to Be () is a 1979 Swedish comedy-drama film directed by Lasse Hallström.

Plot

Bosse (Magnus Härenstam) is a young ad man, fascinated with cinema, with secret dreams of being an author. He meets Lena (Anki Lidén) at a diner, and after a period of dating, she becomes pregnant. Bosse tries to deal with the situation through an imaginary friend (Micha Gabay), an English-speaking American inspired by various tough guys from American genre films, with a knack for impulsive action but little respect for or understanding of fatherhood.
