Description

A New York couple, Rachel (Emilia Clarke) and Alvy (Chiwetel Ejiofor) live in a not-so-distant future where technology provides evermore convenient living. When Rachel lands a coveted spot at the Womb Center, which offers couples a convenient (and shareable) maternity by way of detachable artificial wombs, botanist Alvy is skeptical. As the pair attempts to navigate the brave new world of technology-enhanced parenthood, Sophie Barthes’ funny, philosophical film deftly satirizes our world’s increasing reliance on tech in the name of convenience. At the film’s center, Clarke and Ejiofor imbue Rachel and Alvy with an indelible warmth and romance.
