Synopsis

Alannah and Amara, a married couple in their early thirties, are ready to take the next step: starting a family. At a lively children’s birthday party, their enthusiasm for parenthood is met with a barrage of real-life parenting confessions from friends. They hear everything from birth horror stories to the absurdities of toddler logic. Amid the laughter and chaos, the couple’s desire for a child grows stronger.
Navigating the maze of fertility options, they consider everything from anonymous donors to a “Tinder for sperm.” Their journey takes a humorous, heartfelt turn when their gay best friend David offers to help as a known donor. What follows is a series of awkward, hilarious, and deeply intimate attempts at home insemination complete with strap-ons, science goggles, and the unglamorous realities of conception.
Despite their optimism, the process proves emotionally taxing. When medical tests reveal that David’s sperm counts aren't up to the task, the couple persevere. They seek a new donor, pursuing intrauterine insemination (IUI) and confronting the financial and emotional costs head-on.
