“Baby, we need to talk…”
Zoey and Ethan are deciding whether or not to have a baby. The rest of their lives are
figured out, but there’s nothing sexier than family planning, right? Meanwhile, Zoey’s
younger sister Trish already has her hands full with two kids - or three if you count
her new boyfriend Matt.
Amidst falling birthrates and the ever-present chaos of adulthood, two couples who
were once convinced they can ‘have it all’ find themselves asking what they truly
want… and if there’s ever an opportunity to reframe. Career ambitions, brunch plans,
and the fate of humanity hang in the balance – not to mention the daunting
considerations of legacy, parenting, and ‘expectations.’
Is it ever really the right time?
