“Unhurried, observant, quietly contemplative… It’s a thoughtful, honest and touching work, especially for women who love women.”
Leslie Felperin, THE GUARDIAN
“Beautifully captured… Rather than indulging in easy answers or romantic seductions and betrayals, the film goes the slice-of-life route, watching as the couple’s joy ebbs and flows.”
Ally Johnson, THE PLAYLIST
“Boasts a couple of stellar central performances from Tena and Chaplin, who deliver the required emotional weight when the opportunity arises… their evident ease with one another makes their intense bond so believable.”
Amy West, EMPIRE MAGAZINE
Synopsis:
In their mid-30s, Eva (Oona Chaplin) and Kat (Natalia Tena) have a fun and carefree simple life in their London canal boat until Eva, inspired by her exceptional mother Germaine (played by her real mother Geraldine Chaplin), presents Kat with an ultimatum: she wants a child. Kat resists, knowing that it will end the bohemian lifestyle that she’s always envisioned with Eva. When Kat’s best friend, Roger (David Verdaguer), drops in from Barcelona, the three of them toy around with the idea of creating a baby together. Kat sees no other way out but to say yes.
As the three begin to look forward as one family, their differing expectations of intimacy and responsibility put a heavy strain on their relationship and threatens to rip the three apart.
