The Story

At a Brooklyn holiday dinner among friends, the guests reveal they are expecting a baby. The celebratory mood quickly turns full on manic when the host’s bread fails to rise, leading to a revelation of deeper issues hidden beneath the surface.

The Why

In an era when women are able to live full lives outside of childrearing, the decision of when or whether to have kids is possibly the most loaded it's ever been. This film speaks to the tension between pursuing an independent life and keeping up with a traditional family timeline.

We aim to explore questions essential for many: should we have kids, and what does it mean for our friendships, our relationships, our dreams? Also...how badly can you f*ck up dinner and still have an okay time?
