Giulia and Chiara have decided to take their relationship one step further and have a child together. But Italian law dictates that only married heterosexual couples are legally allowed to procreate through artificial insemination so the two women are forced to travel to Holland for this procedure.
However, Giulia’s mother is upset at the thought of her grandchild being raised fatherless while Chiara finds a lump in her breast and has to face up to potential sickness and death instead of birth and new life.
In this remarkably tender and touching feature debut, director Roberto Cuzzillo creates a subtly sensitive film about those particular moments that mean the very most.
The director will be in attendance.
