Mamas & Papas

The fates of four couples entwined in a critical moment of their lives, dealing with questions of planned, unplanned, desired or thwarted parenthood in simultaneously told, parallel stories. The films shows a woman thinking of putting her child up for adoption who believes money will solve her problems while the story of a bereaved doctor proves money isn’t everything. Similarly, a couple that opted for abortion believe they’re protecting their future while another couple tests their rocky relationship when adopting a child.
