Sam and Lucy Bell are a married couple who seem to have it all: good
looks, successful careers and an enthusiastic love life. The only thing
they lack is the one thing they want most - a baby.
They try everything
in their efforts to reproduce: New Age chanting, acupuncture, creative
lovemaking... but all this hectic schedule achieves is improvement in
their cardiovascular systems. Ovulation charts soon replace
spontaneity, when the couple reluctantly deliver themselves into the
hands of medical professionals.
At the same time, as Sam comes to find
his job increasingly unfulfilling, he sets his sights on writing a
screenplay, but writer's block strikes. Encouraged to 'look within' by
his hippie friend Druscilla, Sam is inspired: he will write a comedy
about a couple trying for a baby! But Lucy is horrified at the idea,
and forbids him to tell their story.
Sam and Lucy's love for each
other, the most important thing they both have, will now truly be put
to the test...with surprising results.
