The Object of My Affection

• Drama
• Romance

A gently subversive romantic comedy navigates the unconventional desires of a woman facing unexpected pregnancy in 1990s New York. Unlike typical pairings, the film centers on a deepening connection forged not with a romantic partner, but with a steadfast, emotionally available male friend, prompting the radical proposition of co-parenting. This isn’t a story of finding ‘the one,’ but of defining family on your own terms, driven by a pragmatic affection and a desire for stability that transcends societal expectations. The narrative delicately balances the anxieties of impending motherhood with the frustrations of a stifling relationship, creating a quietly humorous and surprisingly tender exploration of chosen family and the shifting landscape of modern love.
