| Description |
What happens if you have a kid and just get a really annoying one? Meet two best friends in their mid-30s – a single woman and a partnered gay man – who are deciding whether to have a baby. Together. She’s the daughter of immigrants, living on unceded land. He’s a middle-class Australian who has grown up in a world that told him he could be anything he dreams, but he hasn’t really become much. Together they ask where do you belong in your family’s history? What does it mean to bring a child into a world that’s burning? |
