THE STORY OF THE FILM
follows New York couple Rachel (Emilia Clarke) and Alvy (Chiwetel Ejiofor),
who are ready to start a family. But rather than having a baby the
old-fashioned way, they embrace the benefits of living in a glossy
sci-fi future: they land a coveted spot at the Womb Center, which offers
detachable, artificial wombs (pods) that will let them share pregnancy
on equal footing. The problem? The Womb Center is solely Rachel's idea.
Alvy, a botanist who loathes the way AI tech is replacing the natural
world, only agrees for Rachel's sake. But whatever his doubts about
growing a baby, his love for Rachel is absolute — and so begins their
complex journey of starting a family with pods. The film was both written and directed by Sophie Barthes who premiered the movie at Sundance Film Festival.
