What Is 17 Seconds to Sophie About?

The premise of 17 Seconds to Sophie without spoilers.

A ticking kitchen timer sounds as a nude woman stands in semi‑profile against a bare off‑white wall, her expression impassive. Her image flickers, showing a time‑lapse of her belly expanding into pregnancy. After 17 seconds the timer chimes, a baby appears in her arms, and the scene shifts to real time as the mother smiles while holding her child.
