CGiii Comment
Bland and beige...and, so downbeat you could drop off to sleep at ang given moment.
An interesting idea...but, the execution was emotionally lacking.

Mirene and André are a heterosexual couple struggling with infertility issues. Carl and Vicente are a homosexual couple undergoing an experimental procedure in order to have a biological child. The film's classic cinematography contrasts with a science-fictionalised narrative, to deliver an utterly refreshing exploration of gender, reproduction, normativity, and the notion of family. A work that's food for thought - like the lab-grown meat in its opening scene.
