A husband and wife are trying to have a baby but after numerous attempts it's revealed that the husband is infertile. Husband wants to adopt a child but wife wants to give birth using donor sperm. They opt for artificial insemination which fails and due to the high cost of the procedure, they cannot afford another. Since the wife is so keen on giving birth to her own baby, the husband chooses a colleague and concocts a plan to get his wife naturally impregnated by this new guy. This is when things get complicated and his life/wife will never be the same again.
A melodramatic film that explores the repercussions of such a situation. The story isn't glittery, but primitive and crude. The film touches several subjects like intimacy, helplessness, trust, female choice of companionship, natural connection between expecting parents, male bonding/competition, but what the film really excels in is its examination of the fragility of relationships and their breaking points. At times the movie is hard to watch, but the characters hold your interest and drag you into their lives.
The actors playing the three main characters do a very good job. The direction is spot on. It's a good watch if you like films that depict uncomfortable circumstances and raw emotions ...... and alas life is tough!
