At nearly 40, Alina and Fran have decided it is the right time to have children. Everything seems to be going your way: you want kids, have a job, you are still young … well that’s what they believe, but they soon discover that Fran’s semen is a mess and Alina’s eggs are about to expire. You go for in vitro fertilization, a long and uncertain treatment that begins with disagreements. Alina wants to stay the course until they are successful, while Fran is uncertain and ultimately happy with no children. Alina thinks about her future son and Fran thinks about his work project. Alina wants company, and Fran prefers to be alone. At the worst point in the middle of something that should unite them forever, Alina and Fran decide to separate. But life has reserved a twist for them.
