What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Matt pursues single parenthood by hiring Anna as a gestational surrogate, making reproductive planning the relationship's foundation.
Anna and Matt are bound together during the pregnancy by a formal surrogacy agreement while developing personal attachment.
The central bond explores connection and love between a prospective father and surrogate without reducing their relationship to standard romance.
The film uses the practical and emotionally charged circumstances of pregnancy and surrogacy as material for candid comedy.
