The Screen Guide

Tired of waiting for the perfect partner, and alarmed by the deafening ‘tic-toc’ of her biological clock, 39-year-old filmmaker Janet Merewether decides to become a ‘solo mother by choice’. She joins a waiting list for a donor insemination program but then has a one-night-stand and falls pregnant. The film redefines the meaning of ‘family’ and explores the perspectives of women who, rather than being ‘left on the shelf’ by men because they are too smart, too funny, too ‘ugly’ or too independent, embrace their own fertility to immerse themselves in life’s greatest love and greatest challenge.
