Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival 2008

Lucie’s biological clock is ticking. She tells her partner Marion that she wants a child, but has her own ideas of how to go about it: she doesn’t want to adopt and she’s not interested in shopping at a sperm bank. Lucie wants to know the biological father, but insists that he relinquish all rights to the child. Since that doesn’t seem to be too much to ask, Marion agrees, and the women go on a progressively more outrageous quest to find a donor, until an old friend agrees to step up to the plate. All seems well until the growing reality of the pregnancy and birth of their child raises unanticipated and uncomfortable questions: as the non-biological parent, what role does Marion have? And what if the biological father decides he wants to be more involved? THE NEW WORLD of modern parenting threatens Marion and Lucie’s relationship just as it should be growing stronger.
