Synopsis |
|
When Mark and Erik, an affluent gay
couple in a committed relationship,
place an Internet notice: NYC GAY
COUPLE SEEKING SURROGATE, they get
more than they bargain for. We
follow the young pair in their
search for a suitable surrogate
mother, and for a baby with whom
they share a genetic bond. After
their lawyer calls to say that he’s
found an appropriate woman, they
both have fits of nerves along with
doubts about fatherhood and even
potency. This too-good-to-be-true
person is Wen, a follower of the
Wicca religion who lives in Maine
with a husband and a 12-year-old
son. Eventually Mark and Erik’s
relationship with Wen goes beyond
the nine months of gestation, and
after three years of miscarriages,
they must take the tragedy with
humor, as they repeat the comical
and frustrating conception rituals. |
